Carnauba is a natural wax obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm tree, native to Brazil. Known for its high melting point and glossy finish, it is often referred to as the "queen of waxes." Carnauba wax is commonly used in various products, including cosmetics, food coatings, and automotive polishes. The extraction process involves harvesting the leaves, drying them, and then beating them to release the wax. Carnauba is valued for its eco-friendly properties and is considered safe for use in food and personal care items. Its versatility makes it a popular choice in many industries.
