  • Sunflower seed wax
  • Mimosa wax

  • Jojoba wax is the only wax that is liquid at room temperature. This is due to its composition: unsaturated fatty alcohol esters combined with an unsaturated fatty acid.
  • Sunflower seed wax is a hard wax made up of fully saturated monoesters that boasts excellent thermal stability
  • Mimosa wax a coproduct of the perfumery industry, is not surprisingly rather sweet smelling. Softer than the other waxes, it melts at about 60 °C and has a more complex composition that includes long-chain esters, hydrocarbons, and a smaller amount of triterpenoid alcohols.
