Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax

Product Description

As a leading B2B manufacturer, we provide high-purity Rhus Succedanea Fruit Wax (commonly known as Japan Wax), meticulously extracted directly from the mesocarp of the Japanese wax tree at our advanced extraction facility to guarantee consistent batch quality. This natural botanical lipid acts as an exceptional structuring agent, forming a breathable, protective film that supports the transdermal delivery of oil-soluble actives while remaining highly stable in aqueous solution when properly emulsified. Perfectly aligned with the accelerating global demand for clean, cruelty-free beauty, this premium wax offers formulators a superior vegan alternative to beeswax, delivering outstanding sensory profiles and optimized pay-off in color cosmetics.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Advanced Structuring & Pay-off: Enhances the structural integrity and thermal stability of anhydrous stick formulations (lipsticks, eyeliners), providing a smooth, uniform pay-off upon skin contact due to its unique low-melting profile.
• Biomimetic Emolliency: Rich in palmitic acid triglycerides, it seamlessly integrates with the epidermal lipid matrix to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and impart a velvet-like, non-tacky dermal finish.
• Emulsion Stabilization: Functions as a potent secondary rheology modifier, increasing formula viscosity and preventing phase separation in complex O/W and W/O emulsion systems.
• Vegan Wax Replacement: Serves as a direct, high-performance vegan substitute for beeswax or animal-derived waxes, allowing brands to achieve "Clean Beauty" and "100% Plant-Based" claims without compromising texture.

Formulation Guidelines

• Suggested Usage: 1.0% – 15.0% (depending on the target viscosity and hardness).
• Solubility: Soluble in cosmetic oils and non-polar esters; insoluble in water.
• Processing: Incorporate into the oil phase and heat to 60°C - 65°C to ensure full solubilization; stable in aqueous solution when properly emulsified.
• Technical Stability: Exhibits excellent oxidative stability; recommended for use in anhydrous sticks, lip cares, and high-oil emulsions.
• Synergy: Combine with Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter for a high-performance "melting" balm with superior skin-conditioning and barrier-restoration properties.
