General Introduction:

Rice Bran Wax is the soft, semi-solid wax fraction naturally formed during the supercritical CO₂ extraction of Rice Bran Oil. Instead of being discarded, this fraction is upcycled and offered as a natural, melt-on-skin ingredient that enhances slip, softness, and sensory richness in cosmetic formulations.

This wax is unrefined—collected exactly as it emerges from CO₂ extraction—retaining its natural color, aroma, and soft texture. It behaves more like a buttery emollient-wax hybrid than a firm structuring wax.

Physical Nature & Texture

• Form: Semi-solid at room temperature
• Melts instantly at body temperature
• Texture: Soft, buttery, smooth
• Color: Pale yellow to golden (natural variation)
• Odor: Mild, grain-like, natural

This material provides soft texturizing, not hardness. It gives a creamy, cushiony feel with elegant glide.

How It’s Obtained

• Produced during supercritical CO₂ extraction of rice bran
• The wax fraction naturally separates from the oil
• Collected without refining, deodorizing, bleaching, or chemical treatment
• 100% solvent-free
  

Functional Benefits

Rice Bran Wax provides:

• Soft texturizing in balms and anhydrous formulas
• Melt-on-skin sensory with elegant glide
• Enhanced slip and spreadability
• Emollient boost in oil-rich formulations
• Slight viscosity increase in emulsions
• A natural alternative to synthetic soft waxes and petrolatum-like textures

Not suitable as a main structuring wax for sticks or firm balms unless combined with harder waxes.

Regulatory & Quality

• Documents: TDS, SDS, COA on request
• Storage: Keep tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight
• Shelf life: Typically 24 months
  

Sustainability

• Upcycled from existing CO₂ extraction, reducing waste
• CO₂ reused in closed-loop cycle
• Zero solvent process
• Supports circular ingredient production
