Rice Bran Wax
Rice bran wax is extracted from the inedible husk surrounding the rice grain. Once the oil is extracted and hydrogenated, it is transformed into wax. Rice bran wax appears as a waxy solid, cream-colored, ranging from off-white to yellow-orange. Its melting point is approximately 78°C.
This wax is GMO-free, additive-free, not tested on animals, 100% plant-based, and odorless.
