Foncepi provides high-quality Brazilian carnauba wax, a key ingredient for manufacturers of hair styling products such as pomades, waxes, and molding pastes. With a legacy in production and export since 1922, we supply industrial-grade carnauba to formulators worldwide, ensuring the raw material consistency required for advanced cosmetic development.

Selecting the appropriate wax type is critical to achieving the desired hold, shine, and structural integrity in your hair care formulas. Our team supports technical teams in evaluating the right specifications for your specific formulation requirements. Contact us to discuss the technical parameters and volume needs for your production line.

Technical Specifications for Hair Styling Formulations

The performance of a hair styling product often depends on the melting point and chemical profile of the wax used. Foncepi offers Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which are frequently evaluated for their melting range of 80–86 °C. These grades provide the necessary thermal stability and crystalline structure to create durable textures in professional-grade hair waxes.

When developing your formulation, consider that the color Gardner index can vary depending on the wax grade selected, with Type 1 typically offering a lighter profile compared to Type 3. We encourage R&D teams to review our technical data sheets to ensure the selected material aligns with the color and physical demands of your specific styling product line.

Consistent Quality in Powdered Forms

For hair styling manufacturers, ease of dispersion and processing speed are vital considerations. We provide carnauba wax in powder form, with a specification of 95% passing through a 100-mesh or 200-mesh screen. This granularity is designed to facilitate homogeneous incorporation into hot-melt processes and emulsified styling preparations.

The choice between mesh sizes should be based on your equipment’s dispersion capabilities and the final texture required for your product. Providing your specific sieve requirements allows us to align our supply with your manufacturing process. Please consult with our team to verify current availability and the appropriate particle sizing for your upcoming production batches.

Industrial Packaging and Supply Chain

Foncepi handles international export with professional packaging solutions tailored to industrial needs, including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags. We recognize that storage space and handling protocols vary across manufacturing facilities, and we are prepared to accommodate your specific logistical requirements during the procurement process.

Determining the appropriate packaging type depends on your consumption volume and handling capabilities. Whether you require standard bags for manual charging or big bags for automated systems, we work to ensure that our supply chain supports your operational efficiency. Let us know your preferred packaging and estimated annual demand to receive a comprehensive commercial proposal.

Documentation and Formulation Support

Quality assurance and regulatory compliance are essential components of the ingredient selection process for cosmetic and hair care manufacturers. We provide necessary technical documentation, including TDS and relevant analysis for our batches, to assist your quality and regulatory departments in the homologation of our raw material.

While we provide the carnauba wax as a base material, we invite you to specify the regulatory documentation required for your destination market during the quote request. By clearly outlining your technical needs and documentation standards early in the process, our team can provide the specific support needed for your integration and development projects.
