About Cosmetic Wax Types and Selection
Cosmetic Waxes and Blends for Formulation Development
Waxes are used in colour cosmetics and skincare formulations to build structure, adjust consistency and modify application properties. Ingredient selection depends on the formulation base, manufacturing process and requirements for the finished product.
REVADA’s catalogue includes Kahl waxes and blends: natural and synthetic waxes, microcrystalline waxes and ozokerites, wax blends, cosmetic bases and micronized powders. The range includes KAHLWAX, KAHLJELLY and KAHLPOWDER products.
Natural Waxes for Cosmetics
The range includes KAHLWAX 2039L CANDELILLA and the carnauba wax grades KAHLWAX 2442, 2442L, 5023, 5026 and 6642. Grade selection should take account of composition, colour, thermal properties and formulation requirements. Different grades of the same wax should not be assumed to be fully interchangeable.
Alternatives to beeswax, carnauba wax and candelilla wax form a separate part of the range. These include plant-based compositions and blends containing mineral or synthetic ingredients. Natural origin and suitability for vegan formulations must be assessed for each product, rather than assumed for all wax substitutes.
Microcrystalline Waxes, Ozokerites and Synthetic Waxes
The catalogue includes products with the INCI names Cera Microcristallina, Ozokerite and Synthetic Wax, as well as multicomponent blends. Examples include microcrystalline wax grades 6089, 7475 and 7853; ozokerite grades 6001, 6095, 6202, 6294, 7366, 7395 and 7511; and synthetic wax grade 4180.
These ingredient groups are considered for lipsticks, lip balms, water-in-oil emulsions and other cosmetic products. Selection criteria include thermal properties, consistency, oil binding and compatibility with the other waxes in the formulation.
Speciality Waxes
The speciality wax range includes castor, rice, rapeseed, berry, sunflower and other products. Available grades include KAHLWAX 2178 CASTOR, 2811 RICE, 6237 RAPESEED, 6240 VEGETABLE, 6279L MYRICA, 6290 BERRY, the 6607 sunflower wax grades, and 6614 TEA, 6684 JASMINE, 6692 ROSE and 6698 ORANGE.
These products have different compositions and properties. They are selected for specific formulation goals, including the required texture, consistency and application feel in skincare, haircare and colour cosmetics. Refer to each product description for its intended applications.
Wax Blends
The KAHLJELLY range includes wax and oil compositions: 7037 BERRY, 7038 COCO, 7235WOA NATURAL and 7236 MB ORGANIC. These can be considered for lip care, skincare and haircare development according to the composition and intended application of each grade.
The blends differ in their oils and wax components. For example, beeswax-containing blends and compositions without animal-derived ingredients require different consideration when selecting raw materials for formulations with specific ingredient-origin requirements.
Cosmetic Bases for Lipsticks and Lip Balms
Kahl cosmetic bases 6370, 6397, 6417 and 7704 are multicomponent raw materials for lipstick and lip balm development. Selection should take account of the complete INCI composition, thermal properties and requirements for adding other ingredients.
Recommended use levels and requirements for additional oils differ between grades. Refer to the selected product’s page and technical documentation.
Natural Micronized Wax Powders
The catalogue includes the carnauba powders KAHLPOWDER 2442P100N CARNAUBA and 2442P5 CARNAUBA, alongside KAHLPOWDER 2811P7 RICE. Selection depends on particle size and the intended function in the formulation.
Individual product descriptions cover applications such as gentle exfoliation, mattifying and soft-focus effects. For loose and pressed powder cosmetics, application, skin feel and resistance to caking are also relevant. These properties should be assessed for the selected grade and the finished formulation.
