Almond Wax is a plant-based wax derived from almond oil, typically used in cosmetics and skincare products. It is known for its emollient (moisturizing) properties, helping to soften and smooth the skin. Almond wax is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, making it suitable for sensitive or dry skin. It is often used as a natural alternative to synthetic waxes in formulations like lip balms, creams, and lotions. Additionally, it provides a smooth texture and helps to stabilize emulsions in skincare products.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Safety precautions
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Skin Protection: Use gloves (nitrile or latex) to prevent prolonged skin contact, which may cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals.
- Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles when melting or handling hot wax to prevent splashes.
- Respiratory Protection: A dust mask is recommended if handling powdered wax to avoid inhalation.
Handling & Storage
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Melting Precautions:
- Use a double boiler or controlled heating to avoid overheating (flammable at high temperatures).
- Avoid open flames—use electric heaters instead.
- Avoid Contamination: Use clean, dry utensils to prevent microbial growth.
Spill Management
- Solid Wax: Scoop up with a clean tool and reuse if uncontaminated.
- Melted Wax Spills:
- Allow to solidify, then scrape up.
- Use paper towels and warm, soapy water for residue.
First Aid Measures
Skin Contact
- Hot Wax Burns:
- Immediately cool with cold running water for 10–15 minutes.
- Do not peel off wax—let it cool and remove gently.
- Apply aloe vera gel or a burn ointment.
- Seek medical help if severe.
- Cold Wax Contact: Wash with soap and water if irritation occurs.
Eye Contact
- Melted Wax Splash:
- Rinse immediately with lukewarm water (not hot) for at least 15 minutes.
- Hold eyelids open to ensure thorough flushing.
- Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Inhalation
- If wax dust is inhaled, move to fresh air.
- If respiratory irritation occurs, consult a doctor.
Ingestion
- Almond wax is non-toxic but not food-grade unless specified.
- If swallowed, rinse mouth and drink water.
- Seek medical advice if discomfort occurs.
Firefighting Measures
Flammability
- Almond wax is combustible when melted (flash point ~ 200–250°C / 392–482°F).
- Not highly flammable in solid form.
Extinguishing Media
- Small Fires: Use COâ‚‚, dry chemical powder, or foam.
- Large Fires: Use water spray or fog (avoid strong jets that may spread molten wax).
Firefighting Precautions
- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) if heavy smoke is present.
- Do NOT use water jets on molten wax (may cause splattering).
- Cool nearby containers with water spray to prevent re-ignition.
