Product Description

Primary Emulsifier for Creams, Lotions & Cosmetic Formulations

Emulsifying Wax is a cosmetic emulsifying ingredient designed to help combine oil and water into smooth, stable emulsions.

It is widely used for making creams, lotions, moisturisers, body lotions, hand creams, hair creams and other emulsified personal-care products.

Because oil and water naturally separate, Emulsifying Wax provides the emulsification needed to keep the two phases uniformly combined in a properly formulated product. It also contributes to the body, creaminess and texture of the finished formulation.

For DIY formulators, Emulsifying Wax is one of the easiest and most versatile ingredients for learning to make oil-in-water creams and lotions.

Suitable for:
Creams • Lotions • Moisturisers • Body Lotions • Hand & Foot Creams • Hair Creams • Emulsified Body Butters • DIY Cosmetics
