Carnauba Wax (Vegan)

Carnauba wax is a vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of a Brazilian palm tree. Commonly used in lipsticks and lip balms, salves, and in any recipe where beeswax is called for. It is a great alternative to beeswax, and a crucial ingredient in the vegan cosmetics industry.

To use carnauba wax in your recipe, it must be heated to a higher melting point than beeswax. It requires a temperature of 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit in order to melt. Please note that carnauba wax is harder than beeswax which must be taken into consideration when incorporating it into your recipes.
