What is carnauba wax? Have you ever wondered why some candies are particularly shiny? Would you like to have your car bodywork as shiny as a candy?
The secret to all this is not a strange magic potion, but is precisely carnauba wax!
Also called "origin wax," it is derived from starting with Copernicia cerifera: a plant of Brazilian origin that owes its generic term name to Nicholas Copernicus, while the echo of its function resonates in the specific term. The particular name for wax, on the other hand, comes from an indigenous people of Brazil. This particular plant grows wild and has bright green leaves that produce brownish inflorescences. It is harvested, however, in the dry season: each plant produces about a hundred leaves and a little more than 7 kg of wax is obtained from each plant.
So much work, however, is finally rewarded by the great effects that this wax presents. Among its main features, in fact, we must highlight its very strong antioxidant power, that is, the ability to bind to oxygen molecules in the atmosphere and thus prevent the latter from affecting the structure of the material, protecting its surface from free radicals and thus from aging. Carnauba wax then gives natural shine, thanks to the presence of oils, and protects your car from the passage of time. Carnauba wax is thus considered a very important element in the automotive industry: in fact, it is used as a defense screen in car waxes.
Carnauba wax could only be the star ingredient in LAST TOUCH, MA-FRA's celebrated benchmark product among car enthusiasts. This innovative high-performance formulation, silicone-free and rich in fine carnauba wax, greatly increases the shine of the bodywork, preventing dirt from settling back in.

Not just cars though...
As already mentioned, carnauba wax is used in so many areas: floor and furniture waxes, shoe polishes, soaps, inks, pencils and crayons. Its applications in the cosmetics industry to prepare lipsticks, depilatory waxes, and deodorants, as well as in the food industry, particularly in certain types of particularly shiny candies and some types of chocolates, make carnauba wax a truly exceptional product.
