Hi can carnauba wax make a cream with a liquid very thick ( thick like a pomade) ? .I don't have the wax but I want to buy it soon. I read that only 10% of this wax can be used so I wonder if it makes stuff very thick at a low amount ?

If you are used to using beeswax, you will most likely need only half as much as carnauba wax. It will make a nice balm, but not a cream. Pomade is a good word for it. :)

You're welcome. I would start with a small batch and see how you like it. Another choice would be candelilla wax or soy wax. But each has a different melting point.
