Product Description
Introducing The Ingredients Store's Rice Bran Wax—a natural, vegetable-based wax derived from the extraction of rice bran oil. This white wax is available in pellet form with a high melting point, making it ideal for enhancing the strength and thickness of formulations. A favourite among formulators, it provides a glossy finish and serves as a powerful emulsion thickener and gelling agent, especially in skin and hair creams. Rice Bran Wax is a sustainable, budget-friendly alternative to Carnauba and Candelilla Wax, commonly used in lip and sun care products. With a melting point near 80°C and a distinct, brittle hardness, it’s often chosen as a coating agent similar to Carnauba wax.
Renowned for its superior oil-binding capabilities, Rice Bran Wax is frequently used as a thickener, binding agent, and gelling agent in various formulations.
INCI Listing: Oryza Sativa Bran Wax
Frequently asked questions
What is rice bran wax?
It is a natural, plant-based wax obtained from rice bran, Oryza sativa (INCI: Oryza Sativa Bran Wax), then refined. It is a hard, vegan wax of Chinese origin that adds structure, gloss and stability to balms, sticks and emulsions.
Can rice bran wax replace beeswax?
It is a popular vegan alternative to beeswax, although it is harder, so you usually need less of it. Start with a smaller amount than the beeswax in your formula and adjust the texture by testing.
How is it used in lip balms and cosmetics?
It gives sticks and balms a firm, smooth texture and helps stop oils from sweating out. It also thickens creams and adds body to mascara and hair pomades.
What pack sizes are available?
From 1 kg up to a 25 kg pack, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote. It is for cosmetic use only, not food; the specification and SDS are available on request.
