Emulsifying wax Cetearyl Alcohol/Ceteareth 20, 1 kg

This emulsifying wax serves as a means of stabilizing emulsions - i.e., to combine oil and water components in cosmetic products. Thanks to it, we prevent the separation of the "oil" and "water" phases in creams, milks, lotions, etc. The use of this wax ensures that the emulsion remains homogeneous, creamy and stable during storage.
Advantages:

• easier production of stable creams without separation

• smooth texture

• Compatibility with common oils and water

• helps with skin care by keeping the emulsion in place

• How to work with wax (solubility, temperatures, dosage)

• Solubility: emulsifying wax is not soluble in water on its own – it must be melted in the oil phase.

• Melting temperature: the wax is heated together with the oil components to approximately 70–75 °C until it is completely liquid.

• When both phases (oil + water) are at a similar temperature (approx. 70–75 °C), the emulsion is formed by mixing (ideally with a high-speed mixer).

• Dosage: it is recommended to use approximately 4–5% of the total weight of the recipe

• Rapid cooling and stirring during cooling helps to set the emulsion.

  • What cosmetic products can be made

  With this wax you can prepare e.g.:

  • Moisturizing creams and lotions

  • body lotions

  • balms (with a higher fat content)

  • hydrating gels (if supplemented with gels and stabilizers)

  • skin cleansing milk

  • eye creams (in lower concentrations, gentler formulations)

  • some types of serums
