Rice bran wax is the vegetable wax extracted from the bran oil of rice (Oryza sativa). The main components of rice bran wax are aliphatic acids (wax acids) and higher alcohol esters. Rice bran wax also contains unsaponifiable constituents such as free fatty acids (palmitic acid), squalene and phospholipids. In cosmetics, rice bran wax is used as an emollient, and is the basis material for some exfoliation particles. It may also serve as a substitute for Carnauba wax.
Melting Point: 77-81%
Dose rate: Add to the oil phase and use between 0.1-20% depending on formulation type. A typical skin cream will require less than 1% wax whereas a lipbalm may need closer to 10%.
