Foncepi, a traditional Brazilian manufacturer and exporter operating since 1922, provides high-grade carnauba wax for industrial manufacturers developing sun care emulsions. As a key supplier within the RF Group, we support cosmetic laboratories and supply chain professionals by offering standardized raw materials extracted from the Copernicia prunifera palm, ensuring technical consistency for your specific formulation requirements.
Choosing the correct grade and physical form of carnauba wax is essential for maintaining the stability and desired texture of sun care products. We invite procurement and R&D managers to assess our technical specifications and initiate a formal consultation regarding your volume and packaging needs. Contact us to discuss the specific requirements for your current sun care project.
Technical Selection for Sun Care Emulsions
The performance of a sun care emulsion often depends on the consistent melting point and acid value of the wax utilized. Foncepi supplies Type 1 and Type 3 carnauba wax, each providing distinct parameters that formulators must evaluate based on their specific emulsion system. While our Type 1 wax is noted for its lower color index, Type 3 offers a functional alternative for formulations where color profile requirements allow for higher Gardner values.
Our commitment to consistency helps you maintain the integrity of your formulations, whether you are developing creams, lotions, or specialized sun protection sticks. Because sun care products require precise rheological control, we recommend reviewing our available technical data sheets to ensure our wax meets the melting range and saponification requirements of your proprietary emulsion process.
Physical Forms and Dispersion Requirements
For manufacturers, the ease of incorporating wax into an oil phase is paramount. We offer our carnauba wax in flakes and powder forms, allowing you to select the version that best suits your manufacturing process. If your production line demands rapid incorporation into the emulsion, our powder options provide efficient surface area management, subject to the grain size specifications that your mixing equipment requires.
The powder is processed to meet specific granulometry standards, typically available with 95% passage in a 100 mesh or 200 mesh sieve. We encourage you to clarify the mesh requirement for your current formulation during the request for quotation. Proper selection of the physical form reduces processing time and supports the uniformity of your finished sun care product.
Packaging and Logistic Considerations
We provide our carnauba wax in standardized packaging to ensure safety and quality throughout the export process. Our portfolio includes 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to meet the operational needs of industrial manufacturers. Selecting the appropriate packaging size is a critical step in managing your inventory and ensuring that the raw material remains protected from moisture and environmental exposure during transit.
When planning your procurement, consider the volume of your production cycle to determine the most efficient packaging configuration. We work with our partners to discuss availability and shipping requirements to your specific facility. Please provide your estimated annual volume and preferred packaging type so we can include these details in our formal commercial offer.
Documentation and Regulatory Compliance
Providing the necessary documentation is a fundamental part of the procurement process for cosmetic manufacturers. Foncepi works with clients to provide the necessary technical data sheets and analytical information required for your internal quality control and regulatory review. We understand that transparency regarding raw material characteristics is essential for the validation of cosmetic ingredients in international markets.
Our team is ready to assist you by supplying relevant information concerning the current specifications of our batches. If your regulatory team needs to evaluate the acidity or melting profile of our carnauba wax for an upcoming production batch, we encourage you to submit your request. Establishing a clear communication channel regarding documentation is the first step toward a successful partnership.
Conclusion
Foncepi remains dedicated to supplying consistent, high-quality carnauba wax for the global cosmetic industry. By aligning our raw materials with your formulation standards, we support your goal of creating stable and effective sun care emulsions for your target markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary differences between Type 1 and Type 3 wax for cosmetic use?
The primary difference is the color profile as measured by the Gardner scale. Type 1 wax is generally lighter, with a color range of 3.50–5.50, while Type 3 presents a color range of 8.10–10.50. The choice between them depends on the impact of color on your final sun care emulsion.
