Emulsifying Wax (E Wax)
Emulsifying Wax (E-Wax)
Emulsifying Wax is a key cosmetic ingredient used to bind oil and water together to create stable emulsions in homemade skincare and haircare products. Derived from plant-based fatty alcohols, emulsifying wax ensures a smooth, consistent texture and enhances the feel of creams, lotions, body butters, and conditioners without leaving a greasy residue on the skin.

Skin Protection: Helps maintain moisture balance and forms a light barrier on the skin.
