    About This Product

    Carnauba Wax, derived from the leaves of the Brazilian palm (Copernicia prunifera), is harvested, dried, and refined into a hard, glossy wax. Known as the “queen of waxes,” it is rich in esters and fatty alcohols, giving superior shine and durability. Used in car polishes, cosmetics, food coatings, and pharmaceuticals, carnauba wax is prized for its hardness and high melting point. Interesting fact: it is edible and commonly used to coat candies, fruits, and pills for shine and protection.
