Use
Carnauba wax is widely used in cosmetics, certain foods, and
pharmaceutical formulations. Cosmetically, carnauba wax is
commonly used in lip balms.
Carnauba wax is the hardest and highest-melting of the waxes
commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations and is used
primarily as a 10% w/v aqueous emulsion to polish sugar-coated
tablets. Aqueous emulsions may be prepared by mixing carnauba
wax with an ethanolamine compound and oleic acid. The carnauba
wax coating produces tablets of good luster without rubbing.
Carnauba wax may also be used in powder form to polish sugarcoated
tablets.
Carnauba wax (10–50% w/w) is also used alone or with other
excipients such as hypromellose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, alginate/
pectin-gelatin, Eudragit, and stearyl alcohol to produce sustainedrelease
solid-dosage formulations.
Carnauba wax has been experimentally investigated for use in
producing microparticles in a novel hot air coating (HAC) process
developed as an alternative to conventional spray-congealing
techniques.(11) In addition, carnauba wax has been used to produce
gel beads for intragastric floating drug delivery and has been
investigated for use in nanoparticulate sunscreen formulations.
