THE SUSTAINABLE, BEE-FREE BOTANICAL HARDENER. OBTAINED AS AN UPCYCLED BY-PRODUCT FROM THE NATURAL PRESSING AND WINTERISATION OF EDIBLE RICE BRAN OIL, THIS COSMOS-APPROVED PLANT WAX IS THE ULTIMATE VEGAN ALTERNATIVE TO BEESWAX AND CANDELILLA WAX. WITH A HIGH MELTING POINT (79°C – 85°C) AND EXCELLENT OIL-BINDING CAPACITY, IT IMPARTS STRUCTURAL FIRMNESS, PREVENTS OIL BLEEDING (SYNERESIS) IN WARM CLIMATES, AND DELIVERS A SILKY, BREATHABLE MATTE-SATIN FINISH ON THE SKIN.

SYNOPSIS & QUICK REFERENCE OVERVIEW

• Upcycled & Eco-Conscious Origin: Sourced in South Africa as a clean, zero-waste by-product of food-grade rice grain (Oryza sativa) milling and oil winterisation, refined via physical filtration with zero synthetic bleaching agents.
• 100% Bee-Free Vegan Alternative: Certified COSMOS Approved, non-GMO, and unpigmented off-white pastilles designed as a 1:1 functional swap for Beeswax or Candelilla wax in salves, lip tubes, and solid lotion bars.
• High Thermal Stability (79°C – 85°C): High melting point prevents pocket balms and stick formulations from melting, sweating, or collapsing in warm ambient temperatures.
• Matte-Satin Breathable Cushion: Rich in natural plant sterols and squalene components that deeply condition dry, chapped, or reactive skin while leaving a dry-touch, non-greasy after-feel.
• Soy Candle & Crafting Enhancer: Increases pillar wax hardness, eliminates surface frosting, and promotes a clean, even burn in soy wax candle making.
