For adults, carnauba wax is very safe when used on the skin. It’s a plant-based wax often used to thicken creams and give shine, and safety listings show very low concern for cancer, allergy, or reproductive effects.
Use products with carnauba wax as directed. If you have sensitive skin, try a small patch behind the ear or on the inside of the wrist first. Avoid breathing in powder forms and avoid getting it in the eyes. If you get a rash, redness, or swelling, stop using the product.
Rare mild skin irritation can happen in sensitive people. Powdered forms can irritate or be inhaled if not handled properly. These notes come from public ingredient safety listings that evaluate common concerns for cosmetics and personal care ingredients.
