Our Product
Berry Wax
Berry wax, also known as sumac wax or Japan wax, is obtained from the berry fruit peel of the lacquer tree (Rhus verniciflua). It is 100% vegan and popular in cosmetics for its moisturizing properties. Moreover, it is ideally suited as an additive to waxes with higher melting temperatures and serves as an excellent stabilizer.
Origin
Berry wax is obtained from the fruit peel of the lacquer tree, which is mainly found in China but also in the higher regions of India, Japan, and Korea. The wax is harvested from October to the beginning of December in the course of a press and extraction process. The final product is available as pastilles and almost white in color.
Quality
Pastilles
We offer berry wax as pastilles. Their very bright color makes them universally applicable.
Applications
Cosmetics
Thanks to its soft and non-sticky properties, berry wax is used as a stabilizing agent in the cosmetics industry. Moreover, it caters for a good spreading behavior of cosmetic products on the skin and serves as a vegan alternative to beeswax.
Candles
Berry wax is used as a vegan alternative to produce candles. It provides excellent burning properties, particularly in tea lights.
