Emulsifier NF
Emulsifying wax NF is a nonionic emulsifier which has been used successfully in the personal care and pharmaceutical industries for many years.
While it's not the most natural emulsifier, it is of vegetable origin but does contain palm oil (RSPO mass balance certified)*, is very reliable and is probably the most common emulsifier used by contract manufacturers. It's also called Polawax.
Due to its versatility Emulsifying wax NF can be used in both skin and hair care systems, producing emulsions with excellent texture and stability.
In skin care products the formation of liquid crystals within the emulsion promotes 'time release' hydration, and also functions as a slow-release delivery mechanism for actives.
Usage: Usually used at 25% of the oil volume of your product.
Example: If your oil phase ingredients add up to 28g, then use 7g Polawax (7g is 25% of 28g).
