Description
Emulsifying Wax Nº1 is a plant-derived emulsifier for O/W systems, distinguished by its lipoprotein structure and compatibility with the skin. Thanks to the liquid crystal network it forms, it allows stable, rich emulsions to be developed, even with a lipophilic phase of up to 40%. It consists of wheat and palm oil derivatives, without PEG, silicones, parabens or sulphates, making it suitable for natural formulations and those for sensitive skin. It provides excellent spreadability without a whitening effect and leaves a fresh, moisturised feel. It is ideal for night creams, masks, balms and nourishing emulsions with excellent sensory performance.
