This wax can be added to your oils to give them structure and to boost viscosity. The ingredient is highly stable and has a very low odour making it very flexible and attractive for a wide variety of formulations. The oil thickener won't increase the stickiness or greasiness of your formula and being a highly stable ingredient it shouldn't increase the oxidation potential of your formula.
