Description

Emulsifyingwax CAS NO 8014-38-8 is a non-ionic, self-emulsifying wax widely used as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in oil-in-water formulations. Its key value lies in its ability to create stable, elegant emulsions without the need for additional co-emulsifiers or complex heating and cooling cycles. This versatile ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable texture, consistency, and shelf-life for their products.

Application

• Primary emulsifier in cosmetic creams and lotions (e.g., cold creams, moisturizers, sunscreens).
• Key ingredient in pharmaceutical ointments and topical drug delivery systems for consistent drug dispersion.
• Stabilizing agent for hair care products like conditioners and styling creams.
• Base component for anhydrous formulations such as stick products (deodorant, lip balm).
• Used in the preparation of industrial emulsions for polishes and leather treatments.
• Formulation aid in veterinary products and medicated creams.
