So, what is karnauba vosek?
Carnauba wax, also known as karnauba vosek, is a natural vegetable wax derived from the leaves of the Brazilian wax palm tree. This wax is commonly used in food production as a glazing agent, stabilizer, and thickener. It is a hard, yellowish-brown substance that has a high melting point, making it ideal for creating a glossy finish on baked goods, chocolate, and candies. Carnauba wax is a popular ingredient in vegan and organic food products, as it is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to synthetic waxes. It is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
