Foncepi provides high-quality carnauba wax, a natural vegetable ingredient essential for manufacturers developing cosmetic stick bases. With a history dating back to 1922, we operate as a leading Brazilian manufacturer and exporter, specialized in providing raw materials that meet the rigorous requirements of the beauty and personal care industry. Our focus is on delivering technical consistency to support the development of stable, high-performance formulations.
Selecting the right wax grade is critical for achieving the desired hardness, melt point, and structural integrity in lipstick, balm, and other stick-based products. We work closely with procurement and R&D teams to ensure our material aligns with your specific formulation needs and production standards. Contact us today to discuss your technical requirements and initiate a professional partnership for your next production batch.
Technical Specifications for Stick Formulations
When developing cosmetic sticks, managing parameters such as the melting point and acid value is vital for the final product's performance. Foncepi’s carnauba wax, particularly our Tipo 1 and Tipo 3, is widely utilized for its ability to provide structural support, heat resistance, and a smooth finish in stick-based applications. These grades are processed to maintain the integrity required by professional formulators.
We encourage formulators to evaluate our technical documentation to ensure compatibility with their existing processes. Whether your goal is optimizing the mold release or enhancing the structural rigidity of the stick, understanding the typical melting range of 80–86 °C and other analytical properties allows for precise control during the formulation phase. Please request our TDS for a detailed overview of the specifications available for your specific project.
Forms and Particle Size for Consistent Incorporation
We offer our carnauba wax in various physical forms, including flakes and powder, to suit different manufacturing requirements. For cosmetic stick bases, the choice of physical form can influence the speed of melting and the efficiency of the blending process. Our powdered wax is produced with a 95% passage through 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens, allowing manufacturers to choose the granularity that best fits their specific machinery and dispersion methods.
Selecting the appropriate particle size helps in achieving a homogeneous blend, which is essential for consistent batch quality in cosmetic production. We do not treat these granulometry options as interchangeable; therefore, we recommend evaluating your specific mixing equipment requirements before selecting the mesh size. Consult with our team to confirm current availability and the optimal physical presentation for your production line.
Logistics and Packaging Options
Foncepi provides flexible packaging solutions designed to ensure the integrity of the wax during international transit and storage. Our products are available in 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, catering to various manufacturing scales, from pilot runs to high-volume production. Proper selection of packaging ensures that the raw material remains free from contamination and is easy to handle within your facility.
The logistics of importing raw materials from our production units in Brazil require careful coordination regarding volume and timing. We work to define the most efficient packaging configuration based on your factory's intake capabilities and storage limitations. Please provide your estimated purchase volume and preferred logistics requirements when requesting a quote so that we can assist in planning your supply chain effectively.
Compliance and Regulatory Documentation
Navigating the regulatory landscape is a standard requirement for manufacturers in the global cosmetic industry. Foncepi is committed to providing the necessary documentation, such as the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS), to assist your quality and regulatory teams in the validation process. We understand that your internal protocols require transparency and consistency in the raw materials you source.
As a manufacturer, we recognize the importance of aligning our supply with your specific quality standards and documentation needs. We encourage you to reach out to our team with a list of the specific certifications or regulatory documents required for your project. By providing clear requirements early in the communication process, we can ensure that we provide the appropriate technical support for your formulation's approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary technical parameters to consider when selecting wax for cosmetic sticks?
For cosmetic sticks, formulators should prioritize the melting point (typically 80–86 °C), acid value, and color. These factors are crucial for ensuring the structural stability, hardness, and aesthetic finish of the final product. We provide technical documentation to help your team evaluate these properties against your specific formulation requirements.
Can Foncepi provide both 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder for my cosmetic production?
Yes, we offer powdered carnauba wax with 95% passage through either 100 mesh or 200 mesh screens. These are distinct product options, not interchangeable specifications. We recommend assessing your specific dispersion and mixing equipment to determine which mesh size is most suitable for your manufacturing process.
Is the carnauba wax Tipo 1 or Tipo 3 more suitable for cosmetic stick bases?
Both grades are utilized by the cosmetic industry depending on the required color profile and formulation specifications. Tipo 1 is often chosen for applications where color purity is a priority, while Tipo 3 is a robust technical option. Your choice should be based on your specific visual and functional requirements for the stick.
What documentation can Foncepi provide to assist with our internal quality validation?
We provide standard technical documentation, including the Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS), to support your quality and regulatory assessment. Please inform our commercial team of any specific documentation required for your product registration or internal quality control processes when you request a quote.
