Name：Ceresin Wax
Cas: 8001-75-0
Purity: 99%
MOQ: 1KG
Ceresin Wax (CAS Number: 8001-75-0) is a refined hydrocarbon mineral wax derived through the sophisticated purification and microcrystalline structural blending of ozokerite and related petroleum fractions. Characterized by its clean white to off-white appearance, high melting point range, and low needle penetration value, Ceresin Wax acts as an exceptional structuring and stabilizing agent across cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and technical industries.
Functioning primarily as a consistency regulator and emulsion stabilizer, Ceresin Wax bridges the performance gap between paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. It exhibits outstanding oil-binding capacity, preventing oil bleeding or syneresis in stick formulations such as lipsticks, salves, and cosmetic pencils. Furthermore, its smooth texture, inert thermal behavior, and non-greasy skin feel make it an ideal choice for formulators seeking to improve product payoff, hardness, and temperature resistance in warmer climates.

A. Cosmetics & Personal Care Formulations
Stick Formulations: Essential structuring agent for lipsticks, lip balms, deodorant sticks, and concealer crayons, imparting breakage resistance and heat stability.
Emulsion & Cream Stabilization: Functions as a thickener and film-forming agent in rich creams, ointments, and body salves, preventing phase separation and improving water repellency.
B. Pharmaceutical & Ointment Bases
Excipient Base: Utilized as a protective barrier component in topical salves, barrier creams, and industrial skin-protective pastes due to its chemical inertness.
C. Specialty Industrial & Protective Coatings
Candle Making & Specialty Polishes: Improves burning duration, surface gloss, and hardness in high-end specialty candles, leather polishes, and wood preservatives.
Precision Coating & Anti-Corrosion: Serves as a moisture-barrier sealant for electrical components, paper laminations, and rust-preventive coatings.
