Product Info:
Polawax is a high-quality, non-ionic self-emulsifying wax that helps create stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with a smooth and creamy consistency. It is widely used in lotions, creams, and body butters for its excellent emulsifying and thickening properties. Polawax enhances the texture and spreadability of formulations while providing a luxurious, non-greasy feel. It is ideal for a variety of personal care products, from lightweight lotions to rich moisturizers.

Formulation Guidelines:

  • Best melted into the oil phase of formulations.
  • Suitable for creams, lotions, body butters, and conditioning treatments.
  • Can be combined with thickeners like Cetyl Alcohol or Stearic Acid for enhanced viscosity.
  • Optimal emulsification occurs when heated to 60°C – 70°C (140°F – 158°F).
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain quality.
