Bayberry Wax

Bayberry wax, otherwise referred to as myrtle wax, is obtained from the boiled fruit of the Myrica cerifera plant. The yielded material is a waxy substance commonly utilized in candle making, soap bars, salves, and creams. This natural wax carries a light brown to olive green appearance and characteristic earthy aroma with a melting point around 40 – 55°C / 104 – 131°F. As a vegan substitute for beeswax, formulators may opt to use bayberry wax in place of or alongside beeswax to increase its melting point. In addition to promoting skincare and aromatherapy benefits, bayberry wax functions as a stabilizer, thickener, and emollient, and alters viscosity in a formulation. Other applications include natural bug repellents, lip treatments, facial creams, and even industrial uses such as coating or lubricating various surfaces.
