Eco E Wax - 250G

Eco E Wax is a vegetable based emulsifier that is ECOCERT approved for use in organic products. It is ideal for use in natural and organic creams and lotions for skin, hair and baby care. It also offers skin conditioning, moisturisation and hydration due to the glycerin component.

Eco E Wax is a vegetable-based complete emulsifying wax used to make stable oil-in-water creams and lotions.

Also known as Glyceryl Stearate SE, it is a self-emulsifying wax that helps create smooth, moisturising emulsions with a soft skin feel. This ingredient is especially popular in natural-style skincare, haircare, and baby-care formulas because it is easy to work with and gives reliable results. It is a raw emulsifier, not a finished product.

This ingredient is palm-derived, and RSPO status has not been confirmed in the source provided. Why we love it: We choose to stock Eco E Wax because it gives formulators a practical, complete emulsifier that is easy to use across many cream and lotion styles. It is especially useful when a formula needs a gentle, plant-based emulsifying system with a softer, conditioned finish.

As a Standard Emulsion Method: Add Eco E Wax to the heated oil phase and heat to full melt, then combine with the heated water phase and emulsify with good mixing. As a Stability Booster: While it can emulsify alone, it can also be paired with a stabiliser such as a gum or fatty alcohol to improve viscosity and stability.

Processing Tip: Heat both phases to a similar temperature, around 70C is common in many processes. Processing Tip: Mix thoroughly during emulsification for best results.
