Emulsifying Wax

Emulsifying Wax consists of Cetearyl Alcohol and Polysorbate 60.  It blends fats with water and is ideal for improving consistency and stability of emulsions.  It is vegetable based, self-emulsifying, stable in basic and acidic media and highly compatible with most cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients. Low concentrations of emulsifying wax can help stabilize many different types of emulsions.
