Foncepi is a Brazilian manufacturer and exporter with a legacy dating back to 1922, specializing in the production of high-quality carnauba wax derived from the Copernicia prunifera palm. We provide essential raw materials to global cosmetic manufacturers, ensuring that our wax meets the stringent technical requirements necessary for advanced personal care product development, including the production of high-performance sunscreen sticks.

Formulators of sunscreen sticks require a wax that offers consistent structural integrity, optimal oil-binding capacity, and a precise melting range to ensure stable stick application. At Foncepi, we supply the raw material expertise to support your formulation goals. Contact our commercial team to discuss the technical specifications and volume requirements for your sunscreen stick project.

Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Formulations

The structural performance of a sunscreen stick depends heavily on the properties of the wax used to stabilize the formulation. Foncepi offers refined carnauba wax types that provide the necessary hardness and melting points—typically ranging from 80–86 °C—to ensure the finished product withstands temperature variations during storage and usage.

Because cosmetic applications demand high purity and controlled physical properties, our team works closely with procurement and R&D departments to provide the correct material for your formulation. We recommend that manufacturers review the specific acid and saponification values of our current lots to ensure they align with your internal regulatory and stability criteria.

Granulometry and Processing Efficiency

For manufacturers integrating carnauba wax into anhydrous sticks, the physical form is a critical factor in processing efficiency. We offer wax in powder form, with specific particle sizing options, such as 95% passing through a 100-mesh or 200-mesh screen. Selecting the correct particle size is essential for achieving a homogenous dispersion within your lipid phase, minimizing production time and potential batch variability.

Incorporating our powder into your production line requires careful consideration of your mixing and heating equipment. Our team can provide the technical details regarding our sieve specifications to assist your engineering department in determining how our product integrates with your existing manufacturing processes for cost-effective, large-scale production.

Packaging and Logistics for Industrial Scale

Large-scale sunscreen production necessitates packaging solutions that protect material integrity while facilitating efficient handling. Foncepi provides our carnauba wax in standardized 25 kg bags and 500 kg big bags, designed to meet the operational demands of industrial manufacturing facilities. These options ensure that your raw material remains secure during transit and is easy to inventory upon receipt.

Determining the ideal packaging and shipment configuration depends on your annual consumption and site-specific storage capabilities. Whether you are scaling up a new production line or maintaining ongoing inventory for established cosmetic brands, we define the logistics and delivery conditions during the quotation process to ensure seamless integration into your supply chain.
