This easy-to-use emulsifying wax is derived from plant-based alcohols and sugars. It is typically used to help form oil-in-water emulsions such as lotions, creams, foundations, creamy face and body masks and other emulsified products.
Material Origin : It is derived from sustainable palm source, wheat and corn.
Appearance: Pastilles or Flakes
Use Level: Typically at 3-6% as the emulsification system in a cream. Can be used at higher levels where it will thicken the emulsion substantially, however using more than 6% in most formulations may lead to formula instability. Consider increasing your product's viscosity by adding Cetearyl Alcohol as a stand-alone ingredient plus this emulsifier used as suggested above.
Chemistry: Non-Ionic
Solubility: Heat and melt in the oil phase of your formula.
Formula cautions: This emulsifier has a broad-tolerance for actives including acids, vitamins and salts and in many cases will be the only emulsifier required. However, we do recommend fully testing your emulsions prior to scale-up and in some cases, a secondary emulsifier or emulsion stabiliser may be useful.
