KAHLWAX 8104 WHITE BEESWAX A pure, fine white beeswax obtained from honeycombs of Apis Mellifera in cosmetic quality, which is carefully physically bleached and refined. Beeswax is the best-known and by volume the bestselling natural wax worldwide. Even though it has a quite heavy skin feel, it is still popular in many cosmetic preparations.

KAHLWAX 2039L CANDELILLA This double-filtered, high-quality wax is obtained from the wild-growing shrub of the Euphorbia Antisyphilitica family, native to Mexico. Candelilla wax is very adhesive, has a good oil binding capacity, creates very hard oleogels, and is easy to work with. It it is more brittle than beeswax and less hard than carnauba wax.

KahlWax 6607WOA Sunflower is a light-colored sunflower seed wax, which is a side product of the production of the edible oil obtained by milling unhulled seeds. It contains mainly esters of C16-C24 fatty acids and C26-C32 alcohols. KahlWax 6607WOA Sunflower has a well-balanced softness-hardness and an outstanding oil binding capacity. Used in stick preparations it leads to very stable formulation with long-lasting shine while having a very elegant skin feel. It considerably improves viscosity of oleogels, pigmented pastes, and W/O emulsions. Used in O/W emulsions it stabilizes the oil phase and improves consistency and lubricity.

KahlWax 6279L Myrica is derived from berry fruit peels of the Myrica Pubescens tree native in Latin America. The wax is very unique as it has no double bounds and is rather a naturally “hydrogenated” oil but solid. Due to its chemical structure it is very stable against oxidation. Very untypical is the low melting point combined with an exceptional hardness which results in excellent spreadability. KahlWax 6279L Myrica reduces stickiness of O/W emulsions and oleogels, stabilizes stick preparations, and has excellent properties for hair styling products. In combination with fatty alcohols it can also be used in hair conditioners.
