Ceralan: The Gentle Beeswax Alternative for Stable Formulations
 
Are you looking for a versatile thickener that is well-tolerated even by sensitive skin? Ceralan is a high-quality derivative of traditional beeswax and is considered an insider’s tip for temperature-stable emulsions and a luxurious feel on the skin.
 
Why Ceralan Is a Must-Have in Your Cosmetics
 
Ceralan combines the protective properties of beeswax with modern cosmetic requirements. Ceralan offers an excellent and safe alternative, especially for people with allergies who might react to conventional beeswax.
 
The benefits at a glance:
 
Excellent stability: Significantly increases the temperature stability of emulsions (W/O and O/W).
 
Velvety feel on the skin: Unlike heavier waxes, Ceralan provides a light, velvety-soft finish without feeling sticky.
 
Optimal spreadability: Skincare products glide smoothly over the skin.
 
Versatile: From light creams to rich oleogels.
 
Technical Data & Processing
 
The small, white wax beads are extremely easy to process and integrate into your oil phase.
 
Parameter Value / Range   Usage Concentration 2–3% (in emulsions)   Usage in oleogels up to 8%   Melting Range 63–73 °C   Appearance Yellow wax beads
 
Directions for Use
 
Ceralan is melted in the oil phase. Be sure to melt the phase thoroughly before beginning the emulsification process. The modification of the wax helps it bind oils more effectively and prevents “separating” in the formulation.
 

 
Ideal for High-Performance Natural Cosmetics
 
Whether it’s lip care, protective hand creams, or sun care products—Ceralan is the ideal choice when it comes to texture and stability. It improves the viscosity of your products and leaves the skin feeling nourished and noticeably smooth.
 

 
Expert tip:
 
Use Ceralan especially in formulations that need to remain stable in the summer or while traveling. Its increased heat resistance protects your cream from separating.
