CARNAUBA WAX
|
Carnauba wax is exuded by the leaves of the Brazilian "Tree of Life" to conserve the moisture within the tree and leaves. This Carnauba Palm grows in the northern and northeastern parts of Brazil along the river banks, and valleys. The leaves containing the wax are cut off the tree during the period from September to March. The color and quality are governed by the age of the leaves and the care used in processing the carnauba wax. |
