It is made up of cetearyl alcohol and sodium lauryl sulphate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a vegetable based emulsifier and it is a white waxy solid, with a neutral, characteristic scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its name, emulsifying waxes do not perform anything like beeswax or other types of waxes and cannot be substituted for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the emulsifying wax work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmulsifying wax is used in personal care products like a lotion and a cream as a thickener and emulsifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts main purpose is to make sure that the oils and water in a recipe bind together into a smooth emulsion. Without an emulsifier, the oils in the product do not mix with water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat can I use emulsifying wax for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ingredient can be combined in recipes that require combining oils and water ingredients to create a range of tailored cosmetic products, such as lotions, creams, serums, body butters, ointments, conditioners and hair treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is easy to use and incredibly effective, this emulsifying wax could be the holy grail ingredient that can revolutionise your formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse your emulsifying wax to create a body

is always best to test different recipes to see what works best for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, we suggest that you start with 2-5% of the total weight, or 15-25% of the oil weight in your recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply add the emulsifying wax to the oil phase of your recipe, and heat until it melts and then mix to combine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSafety
