Microcrystalline Wax

Microcrystalline Wax is dense in nature and has very fine crystals, which enable the wax to bind with the essential oils of our Wax Tablets and retain fragrance for a longer period.

Micro Crystalline Wax is a renowned alternative for toxic, paraffin wax. It is derived from naturally occurring fossil wax and is characterized by the fineness of its crystals.This was is widely used to formulate cosmetics as a viscosity binder and emollient. Micro Crystalline Wax can be scented and used to craft candles and wax tablets. Its melting point is higher than that of toxic paraffin wax, at 63° to 93° Celcius. The color of Micro Crystalline Wax ranges from brown to white depending on how refined the wax is and it is usually used as an additive in wax blends to increase opacity, hardness and flexibility. Forest Essentials uses Micro Crystalline Wax to bind the essential oils of our Wax Tablets and retain fragrance for a longer period.
