The invention discloses a wax solvent used for soaking and cleaning an aluminum cosmetic cap. The wax solvent comprises triethanolamine oleic soap, a wetting agent, a non-ionic surface active agent, ethyl alcohol, mildew preventive, an organic silicon defoamer and water. 1/3 pure water is added into a reaction still, then the triethanolamine oleic soap is added and automatically stirred for 10 min, the wetting agent and the non-ionic surface active agent are added and automatically stirred for 20 min, finally the ethyl alcohol, the mildew preventive and the organic silicon defoamer are added, and water is added for constant-capacity even mixing, so that the wax solvent is prepared. The wax solvent is used for wax removing treatment of the aluminum cosmetic cap, hardly corrodes the aluminum cosmetic cap and does not influence the glossiness of the aluminum cosmetic cap. The wax removing treatment speed is high, the cost is low, environmental friendliness is achieved, the wax residual amount is smaller than 1%, the brightness change is within 10 gld, and the problems that the wax residual amount is large, energy consumption is large, time is long, the temperature is high, environmental friendliness is not achieved, aluminum cosmetic cap substrates are corroded, and the glossiness of aluminum cosmetic caps is influenced when traditional wax solvents are used for wax removing treatment of the aluminum cosmetic caps are solved.
