Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter specializing in high-quality carnauba wax, a natural ingredient essential for stable and high-performance cosmetic formulations. With operational roots dating back to 1922 and facilities in the states of Piauí and Ceará, we provide the raw material necessary for lip gloss manufacturers seeking reliability and consistent sourcing from the origin of the Copernicia prunifera palm.
Selecting the right wax grade is a critical step for formulators balancing aesthetic finish, melting point, and stability in lip gloss products. Our commercial team assists manufacturers in evaluating the technical specifications of our Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 grades to match specific product requirements. Contact our team to discuss your formulation needs and begin the process of evaluating our current product specifications for your batch requirements.
Selecting the Right Carnauba Wax Grade for Cosmetic Applications
The choice between Tipo 1 and Tipo 3 carnauba wax depends largely on the visual and performance requirements of your lip gloss formulation. Tipo 1 is often preferred for applications where color purity and light Gardner values are paramount, while Tipo 3 provides a robust alternative for general manufacturing requirements. Our team can provide the current technical parameters for these grades to assist your quality and R&D departments in their assessment.
While we provide high-quality vegetal wax, it is important to note that the suitability of a specific grade must be confirmed through your internal testing and validation processes. We encourage our partners to compare our physical and chemical specifications, such as melting point and acid value, against their internal standards to ensure the wax aligns with the desired consistency and shelf-life of the final cosmetic product.
Physical Forms and Formulation Integration
Foncepi supplies carnauba wax in various physical forms, including flakes and powder, to accommodate different manufacturing methods. Whether your process involves high-speed mixing or specialized blending, selecting the appropriate format is essential for achieving the required dispersion within the lip gloss matrix. Each form is handled to ensure the physical integrity of the product until it reaches your facility.
For manufacturers requesting powder, we provide specifications regarding granulometry, such as 95% passage in a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. These options allow for better integration depending on your equipment and production parameters. Please specify your required form and mesh size when contacting us, as this helps us align our offer with your operational needs and ensures you receive the correct material for your production line.
Logistics and Industrial Packaging Solutions
Reliability in the supply chain starts with appropriate packaging and organized logistics. Foncepi offers industrial packaging options including 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to preserve the quality of the wax during transport and storage. Our export experience ensures that we can handle the complexities of international shipping for various markets, facilitating the arrival of your raw materials.
We recognize that purchase volume and delivery frequency are crucial for industrial planning. While we provide standard packaging solutions, we define the minimum order quantity and shipping configuration based on your specific volume estimates and logistical requirements. We recommend that you provide your estimated annual or batch purchase volume so we can provide a proposal that fits your supply chain strategy.
Documentation and Regulatory Compliance
For cosmetic manufacturers, documentation is a vital component of the raw material procurement process. We understand that your quality assurance and regulatory affairs teams require detailed data to perform their assessments and maintain compliance with industry standards. You may request the Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for our currently available lots to facilitate your internal review.
Providing these documents allows your team to verify the key attributes of our wax, such as the melting point range of 80–86 °C and other relevant chemical indexes. Our role as a supplier is to provide the transparent documentation needed for your homologation process. Please specify the necessary compliance documentation during your initial inquiry so we can support your technical evaluation effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Foncepi provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the carnauba wax?
