It is commonly used in balms, sticks, creams, and other products where a harder wax with a clean, dry finish is useful. This ingredient is supplied as a solid material in the form of pastilles, pellets, or spheres and has a relatively high melting point compared with many softer plant waxes. It is not water soluble and is intended as a raw material for cosmetic and personal care formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Why we love it: It gives makers a dependable plant-derived structuring wax that works across a wide range of textures. It is a practical ingredient to keep on hand when building richer balms, solid products, and more structured emulsions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties of Rice Bran Wax\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eINCI Name: Oryza Sativa Bran Cera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Pastilles, pellets, or spheres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolubility: Insoluble in water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop Melting Point: 78°C - 85°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongealing Point: 73°C - 78°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Cosmetic And Personal Care Formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Rice Bran Wax Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalms and salves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid sticks and bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody butters and anhydrous products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreams and emulsions where added structure is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWax blends for texture adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePersonal care products that need firmness and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho is Rice Bran Wax For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRice Bran Wax Is For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulators who want a plant-derived structuring wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakers creating balms, sticks, and richer body care products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct developers adjusting firmness and texture in cosmetic formulas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRice Bran Wax Is Not For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-only products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a finished product on its own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulas that need a liquid oil rather than a solid wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use Rice Bran Wax\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Wax Ingredient: Melt into the oil phase of balms, sticks, and other oil-based products.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Structuring Ingredient: Use in emulsions where added firmness and body are needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Texture Modifier: Blend with other waxes, butters, and oils to fine-tune hardness and payoff.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing Tip: Heat until fully melted and homogeneous before combining with the rest of the oil phase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRice Bran Wax Safety Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse as a cosmetic raw material only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid inhaling dust or fine particles during handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid contact with eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWear suitable gloves and eye protection when handling bulk material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle with normal good manufacturing practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is Rice Bran Wax water soluble? \u003cbr\u003eA: No. It is insoluble in water and is normally used in the oil phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What form does Rice Bran Wax come in? \u003cbr\u003eA: It is supplied as pastilles, pellets, or spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is Rice Bran Wax the same as beeswax? \u003cbr\u003eA: No. Rice Bran Wax is a plant-derived wax with its own texture and performance profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essentially Natural","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":55364825579688,"sku":"EN-20223233","price":79.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":55364825612456,"sku":"EN-20223234","price":129.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":55364825645224,"sku":"EN-20223235","price":299.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":55364825677992,"sku":"EN-20223236","price":499.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":55364825710760,"sku":"EN-20223237","price":949.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/3111\/7152\/files\/EssentiallyNaturalRiceBranWax.jpg?v=1775126622","url":"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/products\/rice-bran-wax-oryza-sativa-bran-cera-cosmetic-wax","provider":"Essentially Natural","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
