Polawax is a widely used, non-ionic emulsifying wax sourced from plants. It is commonly incorporated into cosmetics to effectively combine oil and water, producing stable creams and lotions.
Key functions and benefits include:
Emulsification and Thickening: It acts as a self-emulsifier and thickener, helping to create smooth product textures.
Hydration : It provides long-lasting, slow-release hydration through the formation of liquid crystals within emulsions.
Ease of Use : The product comes as small white beads and is easy to use, typically melted into the oil phase during formulation.
Versatility : It is compatible with other ingredients and found in a variety of skincare, hair care, and cleansing products, offering reliability and stability.
