Natural Wax Series
We produce the low-polarity carnauba wax (TS-1), the high-polarity carnauba wax (HP) and their derivatives.
TS-1 is the low-polarity component fractionated from carnauba wax and can solidify oil strongly. 2B and CS-20 are blends of TS-1 and the other wax: sunflower wax and synthetic wax, respectively. They can solidify more strongly than TS-1 and make a smoother feel.
HP is the high-polarity component fractionated from carnauba wax, an up-cycle product from TS-1 production. It can improve pigment dispersion and water resistance. IPG-GEL is extracted with IPG and can be added to the water phase of an O/W emulsion to form a natural silky film.
CARNAUBA WAX TS-1
CARNAUBA WAX TS-1 is composed of the low-polarity component of carnauba wax. TS-1 can solidify high-polarity oil and middle-polarity oil, which are generally used in a lipstick, better than low-refined carnauba wax. Although the used oil is the same, there are cases where TS-1 can form a stick, but low-refined carnauba wax cannot form a stick. TS-1 can enable the creation of new cosmetics never before possible.

CARNAUBA WAX HP
CARNAUBA WAX HP is composed of the high-polarity component of carnauba wax. HP cannot be used to solidify oil-based cosmetics like general carnauba wax, but it can be used for emulsification. For example, HP stabilizes an O/W liquid foundation and prevents the film from coming off with water. In addition, HP helps to disperse pigments and make the film thickness uniform (See the brochure for details.). Therefore, HP is also expected to improve PA and SPF in a sunscreen formulation.

NATURAL SYNERGY WAX 2B
NATURAL SYNERGY WAX 2B is a 100% natural blend of the low-polarity carnauba wax (TS-1) and a refined sunflower wax. The combination of these “two botanical” waxes has an amazing synergistic effect and can solidify oils much more strongly than TS-1, especially the middle-polarity to high-polarity oils primarily used in oil-in-wax solid cosmetics such as lipstick. Moreover, 2B gives a smoother feel (See the brochure for details.), so 2B enables you to create naturally derived cosmetics with both an elegant feel and a sufficient strength.

Formulation Sample
Removability from mold and thermal stability are also important factors of wax. In particular, a lipstick composed only of natural wax and oil, free of synthetic wax, is thermally unstable and will cause exudation (sweating).
We made Natural Origin Lipstick (Formulation No. NNLIP002) with 12% NATURAL SYNERGY WAX 2B. All its ingredients, including oil and pigment, were of natural origin. The lipstick cooled in the metal mold was easily removed (the upper figure). We then left the lipstick at 45 degrees C for 24 hours. Its appearance did not change without exudation (the lower figure).
CANDELILLA WAX DRZ
CANDELILLA WAX DRZ is a deresinated candelilla wax optimised for solidifying oil-based cosmetics. Because the high-polarity components in candelilla wax such as resin are extremely removed, DRZ can effectively solidify the high-polarity oil and medium-polarity oil commonly used in a lipstick.
PAHs are also reduced and its total of four kinds of PAHs* is <10.0 ppb, and that complies with the food regulation in the EU ((EC) No 835/2011). In addition, Benzyl Alcohol, one of the fragrance allergens, is removed.

COLOR GREASE
COLOR GREASE is a color paste, a premix of oil and pigment, containing candelilla resin. The candelilla resin consists of triterpenes, and it can be dispersed in low-polarity oil and also has an affinity with the pigment due to its hydrophilic group.
The pigment is considered to be better dispersed in COLOR GREASE than in a general color paste, contributing to the brilliant color. In addition, when the formulation is colored with COLOR GREASE, the pigment is not easily leached into the water, known as bleeding.
Basic Information
Product Name: COLOR GREASE
INCI Name: Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax Extract (and) Squalane (and) (Pigment)
Net Weight: 5 kg
Color Variation: 10 colors
Formulation Sample
These are our theory images of pigment in COLOR GREASE and a general color paste. In the general color paste, some pigments often agglomerate. In COLOR GREASE, on the other hand, the resin is dispersed in squalene, and the pigment adheres to the resin, so the pigment is considered to be also evenly dispersed. When the formulation with COLOR GREASE is applied to the lips, the high-polarity complex of resin and pigment adheres to the surface of the lips. The pigment is prevented from bleeding into the water because the low-polarity layer such as squalane covers the complex.
Lipstick A was colored with a general color paste composed of polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate and pigment, and Lipstick B was colored with COLOR GREASE. Lipstick B has a more brilliant color than Lipstick A (left), and when they are applied to paper, Lipstick A shows uneven color and lumps of pigment, but Lipstick B shows a brilliant and even color (right).
We dropped water on each liquid rouge (upper). Liquid Rouge B, which was colored with COLOR GREASE, shows no bleeding, unlike Liquid Rouge A and C. It can help to prevent the formulation from bleeding into water and saliva.
We left each color paste in a glass bottle (lower). COLOR GREASE (B) shows no pigment precipitation, unlike Color Paste A and C. It does not need to be stirred before use on a production site.
We can produce a customized COLOR GREASE with pigments not listed here (net weight: 5 kg). Please do not hesitate to contact us.

Lipstick with TS-1 (Natural Oil / Synthetic Oil)
Formulation No. LS-W002NP / LS-W003NP
These lipsticks are solidified with 12% CARNAUBA WAX TS-1. TS-1 is composed of the low-polarity component of carnauba wax and can solidify a lipstick more efficiently than common carnauba wax. At present, we believe that there is no vegetable wax that can form a lipstick by itself except TS-1. In addition, FLORA GREASE J and POLYBUTENE HV-100F (S) are used as viscous oils to prevent the lipsticks from exudation (sweating).
Special Ingredients

Easy to Apply O/W Mascara with HP
Formulation No. WWPM-02HP
CARNAUBA WAX HP can improve pigment dispersion, emulsion stability and adhesion. Because HP is difficult to solidify an oil-based formulation, unlike general carnauba wax, HP gives this mascara moderate viscosity and film formability. HP can also make it easier to pick up on a brush and apply. HP does not inhibit the performance of the other film-forming agents, so it can stay on lashes for a long time.
Special Ingredients
INCI Name: Amylopectin
Amount: 4.8%
It is a smooth powder made with a special process from 100% rice. It does not absorb oil or water and scarcely causes swelling or stickiness, so you can use it as a substitute for plastic powder such as PMMA and nylon.
INCI Name: Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax
Amount: 2.0%
It is composed of the high-polarity component of carnauba wax. It can be used to stabilize emulsion and pigment dispersion.
Lipstick from a Marriage of LHC90 & DRZ
Formulation No. LS-W010NP
SYNTHETIC WAX LHC90 is composed of linear hydrocarbon and acts as the main component of the wax structure in this lipstick. However, LHC90 by itself forms a brittle lipstick with a hard feel, so CANDELILLA WAX DRZ is used to make a flexible lipstick with a smooth feel. As DRZ can solidify oil more effectively than common low-refined candelilla wax, the total amount of the waxes in this lipstick is relatively small (11.0%).
Special Ingredients
INCI Name: Synthetic Wax
Amount: 8.0%
It is composed only of linear hydrocarbon. It is specialized to solidify oil-based cosmetics like a lipstick.
INCI Name: Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax
Amount: 3.0%
It is a deresinated candelilla wax optimised for solidifying oil-based cosmetics. Because the high-polarity components in candelilla wax such as resin are extremely removed, it can effectively solidify the high-polarity oil and medium-polarity oil commonly used in a lipstick.
