Abstract
The invention relates to a wax of natural origin for cosmetic products consisting of a homogeneous phase of Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax wherein hydrogenated castor oil is contained. The wax is obtained quickly cooling a molten solution obtained melting separately and then mixing together the aforesaid molten constituents in suitable ratios. The natural origin wax of the invention gives to the cosmetic products containing it useful properties in terms of stability and retains the same flowability of products containing plastic polymers such as polyethylene.
Claims11
Method to produce a wax of natural origin for cosmetic use, wherein said wax consists of 70-90% by weight of Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax and 10-30% of hydrogenated castor oil wherein the Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax and the hydrogenated castor oil form a homogenous phase, said method comprising the following steps:
- a) heating under stirring the Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax up at a temperature ranging from 80° C. to 100° C., until complete melting of the wax;
- b) heating under stirring the hydrogenated castor oil up at a temperature ranging from 90° C. to 110° C., until complete melting of the wax;
- c) mixing under stirring the molten waxes obtained from steps a) and b), keeping a temperature from 95° C. to 125° C., until complete homogenization of the solution;
- d) cooling down the solution obtained in step c) at a temperature ranging from 5° C. and 15° C. for a maximum time of 15 minutes in order to obtain a homogeneous phase consisting of Helianthus annuus sunflower seed wax matrix wherein the hydrogenated castor oil is dispersed;
- e) keeping at room temperature the homogeneous phase obtained in step d), until a wax is obtained.
