Emulsifying Wax is a common ingredient used in lotions and creams to give them a smooth consistency and help keep them from separating. Our vegetable based Emulsifying wax is sourced from naturally occurring 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 more luxurious 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.
