Emulsifying Wax (Vegetable Based)

Emulsifying Wax is a versatile cosmetic ingredient used to create stable emulsions and help prevent the separation of oil and water phases in creams, lotions and other personal care formulations.

Supplied as white waxy pellets or flakes with low odor, Emulsifying Wax combines the emulsifying, thickening and emollient properties of cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. It can be used to support stable oil-in-water (o/w) and water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions while contributing body and texture to finished formulations.

Emulsifying Wax is made from vegetable-source fatty alcohols but is not considered an "all natural" ingredient.
