Rice Bran Wax #224

Rice Bran Wax is a high melting point vegetable wax obtained from winterization of rice bran oil. Rice Bran Wax primarily consists of high molecular weight monoesters ranging from C-46 to C-66. Our refinement process allows the wax to retain policosanols, phospholipids, phytosterols and squalene for superior quality. Rice Bran Wax is used in cosmetics, skin care, and hair care. Formulators will find it acts as a thickener, binder, plasticizer, and gelling agent. In sticks, it contributes to hardness, texture, strength and mold release. Koster Keunen Rice Bran Wax can be used as a substitute for Candelilla in many formulations.
