Description

Sorbeth-20 Beeswax is a non-ionic ethoxylated derivative of beeswax, functioning as a versatile emulsifier, emollient, and consistency regulator. This product is valued for its ability to enhance the texture, stability, and skin-feel of formulations, bridging the gap between natural wax properties and modern formulation requirements. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable creams, ointments, and lotions.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in oil-in-water (O/W) creams and lotions.
• Consistency factor and thickening agent for cosmetic sticks, balms, and anhydrous formulations.
• Emollient and skin-conditioning agent in moisturizers, body butters, and lip care products.
• Key component in pharmaceutical ointment bases to improve spreadability and drug release.
• Co-emulsifier and texture enhancer in sun care and decorative cosmetic products.
• Raw material for the synthesis of further ester derivatives with specialized functions.
