Foncepi, a prominent Brazilian manufacturer and exporter operating since 1922, provides high-quality carnauba wax tailored for industrial applications, including the cosmetic sector. As part of the RF Group, with processing facilities in Piripiri, Piauí, and Coaçu, Ceará, we supply consistent raw materials to support lipstick manufacturers in achieving their desired formulation standards.
Selecting the right wax grade is critical for ensuring the structural integrity, melting point, and color consistency of high-end cosmetic products. Whether your formulation requires specific melting ranges or color parameters, our team is ready to discuss the technical requirements of your project. Please contact us to initiate a consultation regarding your specific raw material needs and production volume.
Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Formulations
Carnauba wax is a foundational ingredient for lipstick, prized for its high melting point and ability to provide a durable, glossy finish. At Foncepi, we offer Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, which are frequently evaluated by cosmetic chemists to maintain the stability and oil-binding capacity of lipstick sticks and balms.
When assessing our wax for your cosmetic line, we invite you to review our technical parameters, such as the melting range of 80–86 °C and acid values ranging from 2–7 mg KOH/g. These indicators are essential for ensuring that the wax integrates correctly with your existing pigments, oils, and other active ingredients to meet your final product specifications.
Consistent Quality and Appearance in Lipsticks
The choice between Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax often depends on the specific aesthetic requirements of your lipstick formula, particularly color. Our Type 1 wax is characterized by a Gardner color range of 3.50–5.50, often preferred for products where color neutrality is critical. Type 3, with a Gardner range of 8.10–10.50, offers another robust option for manufacturers focusing on specific pigment performance.
We emphasize the importance of matching the wax’s physical characteristics to your formulation's target profile. By providing documentation and technical data for our current lots, we help your R&D and quality control teams verify that our raw material aligns with your quality standards and aesthetic objectives, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for your manufacturing process.
Forms and Handling for Industrial Production
Foncepi supplies carnauba wax in various forms, including flakes, powder, and lumps, designed to suit different manufacturing workflows. Lipstick manufacturers often prefer forms that facilitate efficient melting and incorporation into their base oils. We recommend discussing your facility’s processing methods so that we can offer the most suitable format for your production lines.
In addition to the wax form, we offer flexible packaging solutions to support your procurement needs. Our standard packaging includes 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, ensuring that your raw materials are protected during transit. Please specify your preference regarding packaging and requested volume so that we can provide an accurate quotation for your operation.
