KahlWax 6290 Berry is a pale wax derived from berry fruit peels of the Rhus Verniciflua tree that consists of a high amount of glycerol ester of C16-18 fatty acid. Because a significant part of it melts at temperatures < 30 °C, it feels very silky and soft, comparable to a classic emollient. In addition, KahlWax 6290 Berry produces very soft textures and improves the sensory characteristics of O/W emulsions. It is an excellent additive for oleogels, suitable for lip gloss formulations and mascaras, and works as an outstanding pay-off enhancer in lipsticks. Although it is soft, KahlWax 6290 Berry improves break resistance in pencil preparations.

KahlWax 2442 Carnauba is a light yellow colored wax obtained from young leaves of the Brazilian palm tree Copernicia Cerifera. It is very hard, creates high gloss, and has a good oil binding capacity. KahlWax 2442 Carnauba is registered as food additive (E903) and therefore compliant with EC regulation no. 231/2012.

KahlWax 6240 Vegetable is a very soft, buttery wax from non-GMO hydrogenated vegetable oil. It is semiocclusive on the skin and acts as a lubricous re-fatting emollient. KahlWax 6240 Vegetable can be used in stick preparations to re-balance hardness of other waxes and liquid oils and counteracts a blooming effect. It improves texture of emulsions and has a very soft and silky skin feel.

KahlWax 6614 Tea is a dark olive colored, soft wax obtained from green and black tea leaves of the species Camelia Sinensis in an environmentally friendly, solvent-free process. It is ideal for emulsions due to its moderate melting temperature and therefore enables energy-saving production temperatures. Furthermore, KahlWax 6614 Tea can be used in stick preparations for lip balms or lipsticks and adds a pleasant scent to the formulation.
