Poth Hille Candelilla Wax - Application - Lipstick

Lipsticks and Lip Balms

Lipsticks are designed to improve the natural appearance of lips. When applied, they leave a waxy film behind on the lip surface. The colour components of the lipstick change the surface colour of the lip, while the film components keep the colour attached to the lips.

Waxes are an essential component in Lipstick. Varying the wax concentrations will affect the characteristics of the final product. The waxes most incorporated into lipstick formulations are as follows:

  • Beeswax
  • Carnauba wax
  • Candelilla wax,
  • Rice Bran wax,
  • Sunflower Wax,
  • Ozokerite wax,
  • Ceresine wax
  • Microcrystalline wax

 Waxes bring hardness and shine. They also enhance the stability and consistency of the product and provide richness and body to formulations. Waxes provide superb oil retention and adhesion and form an essential part of the lipstick formulator’s portfolio. Each of our cosmetic wax​ options can help you achieve your goals.

Moisturisers

Beeswax is a long-established, unique, and versatile raw material, making it perfect for moisturisers. Formulators familiar with beeswax know it works as a thickener, texture modifier, film former, and plasticiser.

In emulsion systems, carnauba wax for cosmetics​ is popular for its film-forming and barrier properties.

Many cold creams contain Beeswax in different percentages according to the performance requirement. The main function of cold creams is to remove oil-soluble and water-soluble makeup efficiently. All cold creams act as emollients and produce a cooling sensation.

Creams, lotions, pomades, balms, ointments, and sunscreens often use waxes such as beeswax, carnauba, ceresine, ozokerite, and sumac.

Mascara & Pencils

Mascaras are used to thicken, lengthen, colour, curl, and provide volume to eyelashes. This helps accentuate the appearance of the eyes.

Mascaras can be divided into two categories: water-resistant (cream) mascaras and waterproof mascaras. Cream mascaras are oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions mainly consisting of natural waxes for cosmetics​ (e.g. Rice Bran Wax, Candelilla Wax, Carnauba Wax, Shellac Wax and Beeswax) and or combined with mineral origin wax (e.g. Waterproof mascaras, which use paraffin, ozokerite, or microcrystalline wax, are water-in-oil emulsions—the opposite of cream mascaras.)

Carnauba Wax, Shellac Wax and Candelilla Wax Substitutes are available from natural and synthetic materials of stable pricing that provide equivalent performance and characteristics.

Pomades & Hair Care

There are two major types of pomade: wax-based and water-based. Wax-based pomades are the original kind. This product does not dry out and will not harden on the hair. Holds tight but remains pliable.

Waxes, pastes, and clays are one in the same. These are significantly thicker in consistency than other styling products. It will not stiffen in the hair, although it does feel tackier. Some waxes add shine, but most are matte finish.

Creams are basically for finishing touches or hair protection. Contain little to no hold but make the hair more manageable. Creams can also be added to wax or pomade for a customised product, which adds more shine and control.

Natural waxes used here are Beeswax, Ozokerite Wax, Carnauba Wax, Vegan Wax and Natural Petrolatum.

Exfoliation and Scrubs

For us, switching from plastic microbeads to natural, biodegradable wax beads in personal care products was an easy choice.

Thankfully, we’re now more aware of how microplastics can harm marine environments.

Poth Hille Natural Exfoliating Beads offer the best of both worlds. Wax beads originating from Prime Grade Carnauba Wax, Jojoba Wax and Castor Wax for slightly more vigorous scrubbing performance. Blended beads with added beeswax give a softer, silkier feel while still exfoliating effectively.

Natural Exfoliating Beads are designed for scrubs, washes, soaps, cleansers, and shampoos. They are 100% natural, biodegradable and Non-GMO.
