Microcrystalline wax
Hello! Please help, I can not find in my country Microcrystalline wax, maybe I’m looking for something wrong, I called almost all the shops but there’s nothing … How can I replace Microcrystalline wax, or tell me what synonyms can be? The only wax that I found is for the preservation of wood and iron, but I think it’s not quite what I need. Thank you in advance

You would get more help if you let everyone know which country you are in and what type of application you are using the wax for.

What microcrystalline wax you use?
-
I live in Ukraine, I plan to use it in creating hair styling products (pomades, clays, balms). I found information that petrolatum is a synonym for microcrystalline wax, is it so. If not, then what’s the difference and where to find it? I found interesting formulas, but I can not test them by experience. I hope for your help, thank you very much in advance.

Can i change Microwax on Petrolum gelly?
-
It has a different molecular structure so probably not. But I suppose it depends on what you are using the microwax for.

@BeardlyGentlemen, read about INCI names. Microcristalline wax is Cera Microcrystalina.
Microcrystalline wax is a hydrocarbon wax derived from petroleum
Petrolatum is a North American term for petroleum jelly (INCI name Petrolatum) -
But Microcrystalline Wax is not Petrolatum. Generally in the US Koster Keunen is a huge provider in the US.
