Carnauba Wax is exuded from the leaves of the Brazilian palm tree known as Copernica Cerifera. Also referred to as the "Tree of Life", local Brazilians use many of the trees' produce for various necessities. Grown in the north eastern region of Brazil, the Carnauba tree proliferates along river banks, streams and damp lowlands. Although various Carnauba palms exist in other parts of South America, Africa and Ceylon, Carnauba wax is unique to the Brazilian palm, due to Brazil's irregular rainy seasons. The wax is obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm which are collected and beaten to loosen the wax and then refined and/or bleached.

Uses: Organic Carnauba Wax comes in the form of hard yellow flakes and is widely used in cosmetics as an emulsifier or as a thickening agent for lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, deodorant, and sun care preparations. Carnauba Wax is the hardest natural wax and has lustrous composition making it the leading choice for ointments, pharmaceuticals (tablet coatings), candles and polishes.

Compatibility: Carnauba Wax is compatible with most animal, vegetable and mineral waxes and a large variety of natural and synthetic resins. A temperature of 172 degrees Fahrenheit (78 degrees Celsius) is required to melt carnauba wax.

Any questions?

Are your refill products as effective as conventional cleaners?

Yes, effectiveness is one of the main criteria we use when selecting refill brands.

We carefully curate products that clean just as well as conventional options, but with better ingredients and less wasteful packaging. If something doesn’t perform well in real homes, it doesn’t make it onto our shelves.

Is switching to refills complicated?

Not at all! It’s actually simpler than most people expect.

You start with a reusable bottle, then refill it whenever it’s empty instead of buying a new plastic container each time.

Many customers quickly turn it into a routine — refilling their cleaning and personal care products just like they would restock groceries. Plus, many customers find their products last longer due to concentrated formulas.

What ingredients do your products use — and what do they avoid?

We curate brands that prioritize naturally derived, biodegradable ingredients that are safe for everyday home use. Our role is to do the research and testing for you, so you can shop with confidence.

Every product we carry is reviewed against our ingredient and sustainability standards. We look closely at things like formulation transparency, environmental impact, and packaging. The products we carry avoid ingredients such as:

• SLS / SLES
• Synthetic fragrance
• Parabens
• Harsh chemical fillers

What if I try a product and it doesn’t work for me?

Because we curate many different brands, we can usually recommend an alternative that better fits your needs.

Our team is always happy to help you find the right product for your home, whether that’s a different scent, formula, or brand.

We want you to feel confident that what you’re bringing home will actually work for you.
