EMULSIFYING WAX
Emulsifying wax is a cosmetic emulsifying ingredient. Emulsifying wax is created when a wax material is treated with a detergent to cause it to make oil and water bind together into a smooth emulsion. It is a white waxy solid with a low fatty alcohol odor.
It has the characteristics of cetyl alcohol combined with the viscosity building effect of stearyl alcohol as an effective thickener and helps form stable emulsions.
