Why Choose Pontes Carnauba Wax?
Extracted from the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera palm, native to Brazil’s Northeast, carnauba biowax is a 100% natural, biodegradable and renewable raw material. Its composition provides intense shine, a high melting point and protective properties, making it widely used across cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical, automotive and coating industries.
Pontes’ sustainable carnauba biowax efficiently replaces fossil-based or synthetic waxes, helping companies reduce their carbon footprint and meet global environmental targets. By choosing Pontes, you invest in both quality and positive impact, with full traceability from harvest to client’s door.
Tradition, Innovation and Technology at Every Stage
Pontes combines decades of tradition in carnauba extraction and refining with advanced production and traceability technologies. Our processes are rigorously monitored to ensure purity, consistency, and chemical safety in full compliance with the most demanding international standards.
Pontes carnauba wax is produced under continuous technical control, supported by laboratory analyses that guarantee stable physicochemical properties and superior performance in industrial and cosmetic formulations.
At Pontes, we merge innovation with technical expertise to deliver a natural, high-performance wax that provides consistency, gloss and stability across a wide range of applications.
Reliable, Continuous Supply, Harvest After Harvest
Supply security is one of Pontes’ core pillars. Through our own farms, partnerships with certified producers and a robust climate and logistics monitoring system, we guarantee uninterrupted availability of our sustainable carnauba wax for companies around the world.
