Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter of premium carnauba wax, supporting the global cosmetic industry with high-purity vegetable wax solutions since 1922. As part of the RF Group, we provide essential raw materials tailored for demanding applications, including the development of professional-grade foundation sticks. Our commitment to consistency and technical precision enables manufacturers to integrate natural wax with reliability in their cosmetic product lines.
The structural integrity, melting point, and stability of a foundation stick depend on the quality and performance of its wax base. We specialize in supplying raw materials that meet the specific requirements of cosmetic formulators, ensuring the necessary hardness and pay-off characteristics for your final product. Contact our team to discuss your current production requirements and receive detailed technical information for your next batch.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Cosmetic Sticks
The choice of carnauba wax grade is critical for balancing the hardness and thermal stability of foundation sticks. Foncepi supplies Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, each offering distinct characteristics that influence the final formulation’s visual profile and performance. Type 1 is often sought for its lighter color, which is beneficial when the wax contribution to the final shade of a foundation stick must be minimized.
For manufacturers, the consistency of the melting point—typically ranging between 80 °C and 86 °C—is a vital parameter for ensuring a controlled texture and effective application. We invite technical teams to review our provided specifications and assess how these grades align with the specific melting and setting requirements of your current cosmetic formulations.
Physical Formats and Incorporation in Formulations
Our carnauba wax is available in flakes and powder, providing options based on the handling and dispersion methods employed by your manufacturing facility. Powdered formats are often preferred for rapid incorporation into complex mixtures, while flakes are ideal for traditional melting processes. It is essential to select the physical format that matches your equipment’s capabilities to ensure a homogeneous blend in your foundation stick.
When requesting a quotation, please specify the form that best integrates with your existing manufacturing workflow. While we provide precise physical parameters for our flakes and powder, the final result in a cosmetic stick depends on the specific shear, temperature, and auxiliary ingredients used during your production process.
Understanding Granulometry and Powder Specifications
For manufacturers requiring powdered carnauba wax, Foncepi offers specific granulometry options, including material processed to 95% passage in either 100 mesh or 200 mesh. Choosing the correct mesh size is vital for ensuring the wax disperses efficiently within the stick base, contributing to a smooth texture without compromising the structural stability of the product.
It is important to note that mesh size does not equate to average particle size; rather, it indicates the throughput efficiency for your specific processing equipment. We encourage formulators to consult their internal requirements for powder distribution and communicate these to our team. This ensures that the material provided aligns with the dispersion standards required for your foundation stick manufacturing lines.
Packaging and Logistics for Industrial Scale Production
Foncepi supports industrial demand by offering standardized packaging options, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. These options are designed to facilitate efficient inventory management and safe handling within your facility. We focus on providing high-quality raw materials that adhere to your required specifications, ensuring that the wax is protected during the export process from our units in Brazil to your location.
The scale of your purchase, whether for pilot batches or ongoing production, will determine the most suitable packaging configuration. We work with our clients to align our delivery capabilities with your operational needs, ensuring a streamlined procurement experience. Discuss your projected volumes and specific handling preferences with us to facilitate the quotation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Foncepi ensure the consistency of carnauba wax for cosmetic use?
Foncepi monitors key parameters such as melting range, moisture content, and acid value for all batches. We provide technical data to help your quality team evaluate if our Type 1 or Type 3 waxes meet the specific performance requirements for your foundation stick formulation.
Can Foncepi provide documentation for our internal compliance and qualification processes?
Yes. We can provide technical documentation such as the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and other relevant certificates associated with our lots. Please contact our commercial department with your specific documentation requirements so we can assist in your material qualification process.
Is there a difference between the 100 mesh and 200 mesh powder options?
Yes. The 100 mesh and 200 mesh options differ in their particle passage capability, with 95% of the material passing through the respective sieve. Formulators should choose based on the dispersion requirements of their specific foundation stick manufacturing process to ensure an ideal texture.
What information should I provide to receive a commercial quotation?
To receive an accurate quote, please provide the desired wax grade (Type 1 or 3), the physical format (flakes or powder), the specific mesh size if applicable, the total volume required, and the final destination country for the shipment.
Does Foncepi offer custom blends or micronized wax for cosmetics?
Foncepi focuses on supplying standard carnauba wax as a high-quality raw material. We do not provide custom blending, private label services, or micronized wax. We encourage formulators to use our standard grades as the base for their own proprietary cosmetic developments.
