Emulsifying Wax NF/Polewax INCI: Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Polysorbate 60, is a preparation of higher fatty alcohols that produce thick emulsions without the addition of stiffening waxes
Appearance: Creamy white solid beads with little to no odor.
Emulsifying wax is an effective emulsifier suited for the preparation of cosmetic oil / water emulsions. It can also be used to increase the thickness of formulations, eliminating the need for use of additional ingredients. It works well as a sole emulsifier, thickener and stabilizer in an emulsion. Examples include creams, lotions, body butters, conditioners, face cleansers and baby products.
Compatibility: Emulsifying wax is compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic systems. The emulsions show excellent stability in both acid and base media. Emulsions are stable with a pH as low as 3 or as high as 13. It does not deteriorate on heating, experiencing only a slight alteration in color at temperatures up to 150-152°C for two hours.
Use of a mask is recommended.
Store in a cool, dry location.
