Olive derived emulsifying wax (50 g )

Olive derived emulsifying wax 

Olive-derived emulsifying wax is typically used in cosmetics at a concentration of about 3% to 10%, depending on the specific formulation and desired emulsion stability.

For creams and lotions, a common usage rate is around 4% to 6%, which helps to stabilize the mixture of oil and water. In thicker formulations, like body butters, it can be used at higher rates (up to 10%) to achieve the desired consistency. Always consider the overall formulation and the specific properties of the other ingredients when determining the exact usage rate.

Olive-derived emulsifying wax is used to blend oil and water in various cosmetic formulations. Here are some typical applications and usage rates:

Typical Applications

1. Creams and Lotions: Helps create stable emulsions, providing a smooth texture.
2. Moisturizers: Enhances hydration and skin feel.
3. Body Butters: Adds a rich consistency while stabilizing the mixture.
4. Sunscreens: Stabilizes oil and water components, improving spreadability.
5. Hair Conditioners: Helps combine oils and other ingredients for even distribution.

Usage Rates

• General Range: 3% to 10% of the total formulation.
• Lotions and Creams: Typically around 4% to 6%.
• Thicker Products: Up to 10% for body butters or heavier formulations.

Always adjust based on the specific formulation needs and the properties of other ingredients involved.

Olive-derived emulsifying wax offers several benefits in cosmetic formulations:

1. Emulsification: Effectively blends oil and water, creating stable emulsions for creams and lotions.
2. Skin Conditioning: Derived from olive oil, it provides moisturizing properties, enhancing skin hydration and softness.
3. Gentle on Skin: Typically well-tolerated, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
4. Improved Texture: Contributes to a smooth, creamy consistency, enhancing the sensory experience of products.
5. Stability: Helps maintain the integrity of emulsions, preventing separation and ensuring a longer shelf life.
6. Versatility: Suitable for various formulations, including lotions, creams, hair care, and body products.
7. Natural Origin: As a plant-derived ingredient, it appeals to consumers seeking natural and eco-friendly products.

These benefits make it a popular choice in the formulation of a wide range of cosmetic products.
