Waxes

Waxes are considered an important ingredient in the manufacturing of personal care and cosmetic products.  Although waxes are popular in candle making, they are also used to create emulsifying bases for the preparation of oil-and-water suspensions in cosmetic and pharmaceutical creams and lotions. Our emulsifying waxes are vegetable-based waxes that bind oil and water together. Some act as complete emulsifiers, eliminating the need for the use of additional ingredients. Incomplete (or secondary) emulsifiers can increase the thickness and richness of a formula. Try some in your next formulation!
