Raw Materials for Cosmetic Products

Microcrystalline waxes are a type of wax produced by de-oiling petrolatum, as part of the petroleum refining process. It is generally darker, more viscous, denser, tackier and more elastic than paraffin waxes, and has a higher molecular weight and melting point.

The elastic and adhesive characteristics of microcrystalline waxes are related to the non-straight chain components which they contain. Typical microcrystalline wax crystal structure is small and thin, making them more flexible than paraffin wax. It is commonly used in cosmetic formulations.

Microcrystalline wax is often used in industries such as tire and rubber, candles, adhesives, corrugated board, cosmetics, castings, and others. Refineries may use blending facilities to combine paraffin and microcrystalline waxes.

Health and grooming products: Many ointments, lotions, moisturizing creams, sunscreens and other products contain microcrystalline wax. The material helps give the product the right viscosity and keeps it soft.

Cosmetic products: Microcrystalline wax helps mascara repel water, is used as a binding agent for pressed powder and gives structure to lipsticks, eyeliners and lip liners, preventing the product from crumbling.

A grease thickener: This wax can be used in a wide variety of greases and gel products as a thickener or to make the product stronger.

Sports equipment: Microcrystalline wax is used for skis and snowboards to reduce friction and help them glide over the snow easier. It can also give more control to the skier or snowboarder. The wax is also commonly used in hockey to protect parts of the hockey stick and give players better control of the puck.

An additive to other waxes: A small amount of microcrystalline wax can be added to others, such as paraffin, to improve the texture, flexibility, water resistance and other properties.

Adhesives: Microcrystalline wax is also quite sticky, and individuals can use it as an adhesive for various projects, including bookbinding and carpet backing.
