Sunflower wax is an excellent vegan alternative to beeswax. You use can use sunflower wax in all your formulas where you normally would use beeswax, but since sunflower wax is harder than beeswax you actually use less in your formula.

Sunflower wax is derived from the winterization of sunflower oil. This creates a waxy ester, which is then formed into pastilles. Sunflower wax is often used in lip balms, lip sticks, color cosmetics and vegan soap bars.

Beeswax is often used in soap bars, and it is an excellent addition to make a nice, hard bar. If you’re looking to create a vegan soap bar with the same hardness, sunflower wax is an excellent alternative.

Sunflower Wax comes from Sunflower Oil. Sunflower Oil is obtained by crushing Sunflower Seeds in expellers. The oil is then cooled (winterized) so the wax precipitates out and is separated from the oil. Solvents are not used in the refinery.
