Ozokerite wax is a naturally occurring, mineral wax, primarily composed of hydrocarbons, with a solid, wax-like consistency. It is typically brown or black in its crude form, but can be refined to a yellow-white color. Ozokerite is used in cosmetics, personal care products, and other applications for its thickening, gelling, and emulsifying properties. It is particularly useful in lipsticks and other stick cosmetics due to its ability to provide structure and stick strength.

Industrial Uses

1. Personal Care

  • Primary Use in Cosmetics: Ozokerite wax is primarily known for its use in cosmetics, particularly in lipsticks, creams, and lotions, where it acts as a thickening agent, emulsion stabilizer, and structuring agent.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Emollient: Ozokerite wax helps to soften and moisturize the skin, making it a useful ingredient in creams, lotions, and balms. 
  • Thickening Agent: It increases the viscosity of formulations, contributing to a desirable texture and consistency, particularly in semi-solid and solid products like lipsticks and suppositories.

3. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Viscosity and Stability: Ozokerite wax acts as a thickening agent, increasing the viscosity of paints and coatings, which helps prevent sagging and dripping. It also enhances emulsion stability, preventing separation of the paint's components.
