SUNWHITE®
SUNWHITE® is a high quality petrolatum that is refined using hydrogenation reaction technology. Since impurities that are contained in small quantities in petrolatum such as unsaturated compounds and compounds containing aromatic rings are virtually completely removed, it is virtually unaffected by absorption of ultraviolet light, and is widely used as a base ingredient for cosmetics and an ointment base for pharmaceuticals.

Blend Wax
This is a composite wax that pursues the wax gel property (a property found in preparations made by mixing and cooling various types of waxes and oils) that is sought after by the cosmetics industry. The microcrystalline waxes, paraffin waxes, and polyethylene waxes that are widely used in the field of cosmetics exhibit wide variations in quality properties, and this is one of the major factors behind the defect rates in cosmetic manufacturing processes. This composite wax is a product that minimizes these variations by using special blending technology.
