What is it?
Copernicia Cerifera Cera, also known as Carnauba Wax, is a natural, plant-based wax obtained from the leaves of the Carnauba palm. It is one of the hardest natural waxes, prized for its glossy finish, durability, and skin-protective properties. In skincare and cosmetics, it contributes to texture, stability, and moisture retention in formulations.
Where does it come from?
Carnauba Wax is derived from the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera palm tree, which grows exclusively in northeastern Brazil. The leaves are dried, and the waxy coating that naturally protects them from water loss is collected, purified, and made into a fine, cosmetic-grade wax.
