ABSTRACT
Pontes Carnauba Biowax provides a practical case through which the potential of regenerative extractivism can be examined as an emerging paradigm for sustainable raw material sourcing in the beauty and personal care industry. Derived from leaf-only extraction of Copernicia prunifera Mart. within native semi-arid landscapes, the material exemplifies how bio-based cosmetic ingredients can be produced in ways that actively support ecosystem integrity, carbon sequestration, and inclusive socio-economic development
The global beauty and personal care industry relies extensively on natural raw materials, including plant oils, waxes, butters and botanical extracts, to deliver functional performance, sensory attributes and marketing value.
