Description
Unique synthetic wax (hydrocarbon) that improves the overall thickness, stability and hardness of emulsions and various cosmetic oils. Melting point 66-73°C (150-163°F).
Benefits
- Increases the oil phase viscosity in emulsions improving high temperature stability and overall product substantivity
- Allows stick formulations to withstand the heat and prevent expulsion of liquid from a gel during high temperature variations
- Improves oil hardness and crystal structure for hot pour applications
- Reduces oil bleed
- Enhances film formation for color retention
Use
Add to hot oil phase (150-163°F). Typical use level 2-8%. For external use only.
