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.
