Emulsifying wax Non Ionic
Emulsifying wax Non Ionic is a self-emulsifying, non-ionic wax blend composed primarily of fatty alcohols (typically cetostearyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol) and non-ionic surfactants like polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatives. It is used to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions without relying on ionic charges, making it highly compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including both cationic and anionic components. This wax is commonly found in white, odorless solid flakes or pellets and is dispersible in hot water to form smooth, stable emulsions. It is widely used in cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications where gentle emulsification, stability, and broad pH compatibility are needed.
