Description

Emulsifying Wax is a common ingredient used in lotions and creams to give them a smooth consistency and help keep them from separating. It is mild, provides excellent stability, and is very easy to use. It can be used to make thick or thin emulsions, depending upon the concentration used.

Our Emulsifying wax is sourced from fats and esters, further processed into a convenient “flake form.” Emulsifying wax is an ideal medium for the blending of creams, lotions and other fluid cosmetics which contain oil and water. It creates a thicker smooth texture, making an application to the skin easier.

The ability of emulsifying wax to bind oil and water in perfect union is unparalleled, and today, it remains the most ubiquitous substance in a cosmetic manufacturers’ formulary.

Formulators of natural cosmetics know all too well the frustration that can arise when the water and oil in our creations separate, and emulsifying wax is the solution to this persistent problem.

Emulsifying wax assists in improving the consistency and texture of final products without leaving a greasy film on the outer skin after application. It acts as a mild stabilizer and thickener which ultimately depends on the amount added to your recipe.
