  • DESCRIPTON

General Description:

Ozokerite wax is a naturally occurring mineral wax derived from shale and earth minerals. It is solid at room temperature and varies in color from light yellow to dark brown, depending on its purity and origin. Ozokerite wax consists primarily of hydrocarbons and is known for its stability and compatibility with other cosmetic ingredients.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:

Ozokerite wax serves various purposes in cosmetics:

  • Emollient: It acts as an emollient, providing a protective barrier on the skin's surface to retain moisture and prevent moisture loss. This property makes it valuable in lip balms, lipsticks, and moisturizing creams.
  • Viscosity Modifier: Ozokerite wax is used as a viscosity modifier in cosmetic formulations to adjust the texture and thickness of products such as creams, lotions, and ointments.
  • Binding Agent: It helps bind ingredients together in formulations, enhancing the stability and consistency of cosmetics.
  • Film-Forming Agent: Ozokerite wax forms a film on the skin or hair, providing a smooth and protective layer. This makes it useful in products like mascaras, where it helps coat lashes for volume and length.
  • Stabilizer: It stabilizes formulations, especially in products exposed to temperature variations, ensuring consistency and preventing separation.

Hazard:

Ozokerite wax is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, with few reported hazards:

  • Skin Sensitivity: While rare, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or allergic reactions. It is advisable to perform a patch test before using products containing ozokerite wax, especially for those with sensitive skin.
  • Purity Concerns: Impurities in low-quality ozokerite wax may pose risks such as contamination with heavy metals or other harmful substances. Cosmetic grade ozokerite wax undergoes purification to meet safety standards.
  • Regulatory Considerations: Ozokerite wax is regulated for use in cosmetics by authorities such as the FDA in the United States and the European Commission. Cosmetic formulations must comply with safety guidelines to ensure consumer protection.
  • DETAILS

CAS Number : 8002-74-2

INCI: Ozokerite

Composition: Ozokerite wax is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily consisting of saturated alkanes and cyclic hydrocarbons. Its exact composition may vary depending on its source and processing.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Ozokerite wax typically appears as a hard, brittle substance with a glossy surface. It ranges in color from white to yellowish-brown, depending on impurities and processing methods.

Solubility: Ozokerite wax is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as mineral oil, alkanes, and chlorinated hydrocarbons when heated.

Preservation : Ozokerite wax should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting and degradation. It should be kept in airtight containers to avoid contamination.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature          

Raw Material Source : Ozokerite wax is derived from naturally occurring mineral deposits, typically found in association with petroleum reservoirs.

Manufacture: Ozokerite wax is mined from natural deposits, typically in regions where petroleum is present. It undergoes a process of extraction, purification, and refining to remove impurities and obtain the desired grade of wax.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested  

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

Proposition: OZOKERITE WAX complies with relevant regulations and guidelines

Warning : Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.

THE STORY OF OZOKERITE WAX

Ozokerite Wax: The Strength-Enhancing Structure Builder

Ozokerite Wax is a refined mineral wax prized for its exceptional hardness, binding strength, and ability to create stable, structured formulations. Known for its high melting point and superior oil-gelling capabilities, it delivers rigidity, texture enhancement, and long-wear performance in premium cosmetic products.

Purified from Naturally Occurring Mineral Wax Deposits

Ozokerite Wax originates from natural mineral wax deposits found in ancient geological formations. It undergoes multi-step purification—including filtration, distillation, and bleaching—to remove impurities and achieve cosmetic-grade quality. This controlled refinement results in a clean, highly stable wax suitable for precision formulations.

Structure, Stability & Long-Wear Performance

In cosmetics, Ozokerite Wax acts as a thickener, solidifier, and viscosity booster.
It increases rigidity in sticks and balms, improves oil binding, enhances emulsification, and boosts long-wear properties in color cosmetics. Its high melting point provides superior stability in hot climates, making it a formulator favorite for durable, high-performance textures.

Reliable, Versatile, and Formulation-Friendly

Widely used in lipsticks, balms, ointments, mascaras, solid perfumes, and high-viscosity creams.
Recommended usage: typically 1–20%, depending on the desired rigidity or thickness.
Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct heat.
Non-toxic and compliant with cosmetic-grade safety standards, Ozokerite Wax offers dependable performance for both small-batch artisans and industrial-scale formulators.

Formulator’s Queries, We Answered

A naturally occurring mineral (fossil/earth) wax composed predominantly of high-molecular, saturated hydrocarbon chains with small amounts of iso-paraffins and aromatics. It exists as an amorphous to microcrystalline solid and is used as a structuring/viscosity-modifying wax in cosmetics

Common uses: structure and stiffen solid systems (lipsticks, balms, sticks), increase viscosity/gel strength in creams and ointments, improve film and texture in mascara and sticks, enhance temperature stability and hardness in candle-like or solid formulations. It is compatible with both mineral and many synthetic raw materials

Appearance: pale yellow to off-white (refined grades can be white and odorless).
Melting point (range reported): roughly ~58–100 °C depending on source and grade; many refined cosmetic grades commonly report mid-60s to ~80 °C ranges.
Density / specific gravity: ~0.85–0.95 g/cm³.
Solubility: insoluble in water; soluble in oils, hydrocarbons, ether and many organic solvents.
(Always check the supplier’s CoA/SDS for the precise numbers for the batch you plan to use.)

Ozokerite appears in cosmetics ingredient listings (CosIng ref. number reported by suppliers). Regulatory acceptance depends on grade and local market rules — always verify compliance with the local cosmetics authority and request supplier documentation (SDS, CoA, statement of cosmetic compliance/REACH status where applicable)

Suppliers offer mined (natural) and refined grades with differences in color, odor, melting range and purity. Cosmetic-grade ozokerite is refined to reduce color/odor and to meet cosmetics recommendations; industrial grades may be less refined and show wider melting ranges. Ask suppliers for the specific grade name/code and certificates
