Microcrystalline wax is a unique form of wax containing small crystals. These crystals help to make the wax solid and pliable. We will show more about coconut wax and where it is used in different places.
Microcrystalline wax is derived from petroleum, the same material that creates gasoline. In contrast to other waxes, it consists of smaller crystals. These little crystals act to make the wax less sticky and smoother. Microcrystalline wax holds even more oil and chemicals, making it useful for all sorts of things.
In fact, coconut soy wax has its own unique properties and is being used in many different industries. In the food industry, it's used to give candies and chocolates a sheen. In the medicine industry, it is used to make pills and capsules slippery, so as to make them easier to swallow. They are used in the car industry to make car polishes shiny and protectant using microcrystalline wax. It is also used to make tires last longer.
Microcrystalline wax is popular in the cosmetics and skincare industry. It helps retain moisture and protects the skin. You see it in lip balms, lotions and creams because it forms a protective barrier on the skin. This layer helps to maintain soft and hydrated skin. Microcrystalline wax is also used in the hair products like pomades, adding a shine to the hair and keeping the style in place.
Microcrystalline wax is different from other waxes, such as beeswax and paraffin wax. Beeswax is produced by bees and has a sweet aroma. Paraffin wax, for example, comes from petroleum as well, but the crystals are larger. Microcrystalline wax is also more flexible and melts at higher temperature than other waxes. This is awesome for products that handle heat or chill.
Crude oil, a type of petroleum, serves as the base for the production of microcrystalline wax. Then the oil is cleaned and the bad stuff treated with special chemicals to get rid of it. Next, the oil is slowly cooled down until microscopic crystals form and get filtered out. What remains is microcrystalline wax. (Soy is biodegradable, can be transformed into various types of wax for various purposes, is used in both cosmetics and food, etc.)
