Micro slack wax is a byproduct of petroleum that is in the form of a waxy substance that is semi-solid at room temperature. It is a result of the dewaxing process in the production of petroleum products and is a compound of long-chain hydrocarbons.
Serves as a barrier from moisture and humidity, which makes it useful in the formulation of products such as moisturising creams and lotions.
Utilized in lip balms and body butter to seal moisture and avoid dryness, especially in extreme climate conditions.
As an emollient, micro slack wax is used in different cosmetic products including lipsticks, foundations, and creams to improve the skin’s texture.
Assists in enhancing the feel of hair care products such as conditioners and hair masks, making hair easy to manage and silky.
Used as a binder in the formulation of solid perfumes, which enables the scents to last longer on the skin.
Utilized in the creation of bar soap and bath melts to give the product stability and to hold it together.
Used in diaper creams and ointments to form a protective layer on the skin and avoid development of diaper rash and irritation due to continual contact with moisture.
Used in barrier creams and ointments for sensitive skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis as a skin protectant.
Used as a texturizing agent in the cosmetics industry for products such as pomades and styling waxes because it adds shape and texture to hair without making it hard or flaky.
Applied in preparation of solid perfumes to provide the product with a smooth and creamy feel when applied on the skin by the consumer.
Micro slack wax is carefully packed in order to maintain its characteristics as long as possible. From small jars and tubes for personal care products to refillable and biodegradable pouches, packaging solutions are both practical and environmentally friendly.
