Employment of Wax Sugarcane (Saccharum Officinarum) in Formulation of a Lip Gloss by Simple Extraction and Bioethanol

The objective of this study was to add value to wax cane sugar replacing synthetic wax in the manufacture of lip gloss. Three formulations were prepared: F1 (Control); F2 (vaselinesugar cane wax obtained by simple extraction and the artificial strawberry flavor replaced by “a aí” natural powder) and F3 (vaselinesugar cane wax obtained by biotetanol extraction with strawberry flavoring food). The pH was 5.5 in both treatments. F2 had the highest humidity content (3.7%). The ash content was higher in F3 (1.6%); and the greater acceptability in the sensory analysis is the control formulation, requiring further treatments.
