Eco E Wax Emulsifying Wax - - 10KG

Features

Description

Essentially Natural Eco E Wax is a complete, vegetable-based emulsifying wax that makes it easier to turn oils and water into smooth creams, lotions and conditioning treatments. Also known as Glyceryl Stearate SE, it creates oil-in-water emulsions with a soft, moisturising feel rather than a heavy or excessively waxy finish.

It is a practical choice for makers who want one primary emulsifier for classic face, body, haircare and baby-care style formulas. Why we love it: We choose to offer Eco E Wax because it makes traditional cream and lotion making feel approachable. Its dependable emulsifying performance and softly conditioned finish make it a useful staple for both simple formulas and more developed skincare projects.
