Rice Wax Crayons
Kitpas is gentle to the earth, makers, and you!
Wax is the primary component that keeps Kitpas products intact.
From the very beginning, Kitpas has been committed to safety for toddlers and children of all ages, originally manufacturing our crayons with non-toxic paraffin wax used in products like lipsticks, candles, and for fruit preservation. Our newly enhanced Kitpas now primarily uses food-grade rice bran wax as a key ingredient, which is mainly derived from Japanese rice.
Kitpas products are crafted with a focus on using rice bran wax, primarily sourced from Japanese rice, highlighting our dedication to being considerate of our customers, the planet, and the people who manufacture our products. What contributes to the safety of using rice bran wax?
User: Our crayons guarantee peace of mind for both elders and children.
Planet: Using recycled rice bran wax as our material helps eliminate food waste, as rice bran is typically discarded after milling the rice.
Maker: Melting rice wax generates less heat than paraffin wax during production, providing a more comfortable environment for our factory workers.
The rice we eat as part of our meal is derived by milling the brown rice and scraping the bran layer on the rice surface. The thin surface layer that’s peeled off while milling is called the bran layer. This bran layer is further separated into rice bran oil and rice bran wax that will be used as the wax used to manufacture Kitpas. Rice bran layer is typically discarded after the milling process, so we decided to give it a second life while eliminating food waste!
