Cosmetic Grade Polyethylene Wax-CAS 9002-88-4
Cosmetic Grade Polyethylene Wax (PE Wax) is a high-purity low-molecular synthetic wax polymerized from ethylene monomers and refined through multi-stage purification processes.
It is an indispensable functional additive for modern high-standard cosmetic formulas. Natural waxes are limited by raw material properties, often with insufficient hardness, easy precipitation and poor batch stability.
Polyethylene Wax perfectly makes up for these deficiencies with ultra-high structural hardness, excellent internal lubrication and outstanding anti-sedimentation stability. It can effectively enhance the molding rigidity and wear resistance of solid cosmetics, optimize product surface smoothness and touch feeling, and stabilize oil-phase system rheology.
With stable chemical properties, no odor and no discoloration, it improves the overall grade and shelf stability of cosmetics, and is the preferred synthetic wax material for high-hardness, long-wear and high-stability cosmetic formulas.



Key Benefits
• Ultra-High Hardness & Wear Resistance: Superior structural rigidity than natural waxes, significantly improve solid cosmetic hardness and three-dimensional molding, effectively prevent lipstick deformation, collapsing and fading, enhance wear resistance and cup-proof performance.
• Strong Anti-Precipitation & Anti-Layering: Unique synthetic molecular structure stably locks oil-wax system, inhibits wax floating and precipitation in compound formulas, solves the common problem of product surface blooming and stratification.
• Excellent Lubrication & Delicate Texture: Outstanding internal lubrication performance, uniform formula texture, eliminate gritty particles, improve cream spreadability and bring smooth and delicate skin feeling.
• High & Low Temperature Stability: Stable chemical properties, no softening at high temperature, no cracking at low temperature, maintain consistent product texture in extreme environments, ensure four-season stable quality.
• Batch Stability & Non-Yellowing: Industrial precise polymerization process, stable batch indicators, pure white and odorless, long-term storage non-yellowing, no color difference interference for color cosmetics.
• Wide Compatibility & Safe Formula: Pure refined synthetic raw material, non-irritating and non-sensitizing, perfectly compatible with plant waxes and mineral waxes, improve comprehensive performance of composite wax system.
Applications
• Long-Wear Hard Lip Makeup: Core hardening and stabilizing raw material for high-hardness lipstick, cup-proof lip balm and long-lasting lip gloss, improve molding stability and wear resistance.
• High-Stability Cream & Lotion: Applied in moisturizing cream, foundation cream and skin care lotion, optimize texture lubricity, prevent wax precipitation and stratification, improve shelf stability.
• Waterproof & Sweatproof Solid Makeup: Suitable for waterproof eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, solid foundation and other shaping makeup, enhance product hardness and long-term stability.
• Composite Wax System Modification: Compounded with plant waxes and mineral waxes, balance formula hardness, toughness and stability, make up for the insufficient hardness of natural waxes.
• High-Purity Light Color Cosmetics: Ideal for white, transparent and light-colored cosmetic formulas, pure white and non-yellowing, no color pollution.
• High-Standard Daily Care Products: Used in high-end stable daily care formulas requiring delicate texture, no precipitation and long shelf life.

• Q4: What is the difference between PE Wax and natural waxes?
A4: Natural waxes have limited hardness and poor anti-precipitation performance; Polyethylene Wax is a synthetic wax with ultra-high hardness, stable chemical properties and excellent lubricating and anti-sedimentation capabilities. It is mainly used to improve formula hardness, wear resistance and system stability, perfectly making up for the performance defects of natural waxes.
• Q5: Is Polyethylene Wax safe for skin and lip contact?
A5: Yes. It is refined by high-precision polymerization and physical purification, with high purity, no chemical residues, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. It meets international cosmetic safety standards and is safe for long-term skin and lip contact.
• Q6: What are the formula matching notes?
A6: High melting point synthetic wax, recommended to heat and melt at 90-100℃ oil phase before adding; compound with flexible natural waxes to balance hardness and ductility; control reasonable dosage to avoid excessive hardness and dry texture.
• Q7: Do you support stable large-batch supply all year round?
A7: Stable synthetic production line and standardized purification process ensure stable batch melting point, hardness and purity indicators, sufficient inventory all year round, supporting long-term bulk orders and customized formula adaptation services.
