The wax market in India has been growing consistently, with an increase in demand from sectors like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and luxury candles. Over the past five years, there has been a significant shift towards eco-friendly products, driving formulators to prefer vegetable or natural-origin waxes over conventional petroleum waxes. This change reflects the growing consumer preference for sustainable and environmentally friendly products. However, customers often face issues such as high costs of imported natural or vegetarian-origin raw materials and regulatory challenges. Waxoils, established in 1969, excels in producing high-quality natural and pharmaceutical waxes. With a legacy spanning over 70 years, the company combines traditional expertise with modern innovations to deliver sustainable and reliable solutions for various industries.
Waxoils' journey began in the early 1940s when Lakshmichand Raichand Sarvaiya started trading waxes in Mumbai’s Vadgadi market. In 1969, his son Kirtikumar Lakshmichand Sarvaiya founded Waxoils, marking the family’s forward integration into wax manufacturing. The company, now led by Pallavi Sarvaiya as Managing Director, has flourished over three generations. Today, the firm is renowned for its high-quality natural and pharmaceutical waxes. The company boasts a GMP and GLP-certified facility, supplying 50 percent of its products to the pharmaceutical industry. Waxoils' products are treated as bulk drugs, ensuring top-notch quality and regulatory compliance.
“With a relentless pursuit of excellence and a rich legacy, Waxoils has become a trusted name, known for addressing complex issues and maintaining superior quality standards in the wax industry”, says Priyank Sarvaiya.

Waxoils stands out for its unique manufacturing processes accumulated over three generations, ensuring industry standards and client satisfaction. The company emphasizes local sourcing to reduce import dependency and maintain a smooth supply chain. Its eco-friendly processes include reusing domestic liquid waste for gardening, disposing of packaging waste through government-approved recycling agencies, and using natural piped gas for boilers, which is a green fuel with low emissions.
