Ewax BP is a classic anionic emulsifying wax that helps merge oil and water phases into stable emulsion textures.
It is a pre‑blended base composed of **Cetearyl Alcohol** and **Sodium Lauryl Sulfate**, designed to simplify emulsification in creams, lotions, conditioners, and similar products.
This wax is widely used in skincare and haircare formulas requiring a smooth, consistent texture with good stability.
FEATURES
- Self‑emulsifying – helps form oil‑in‑water emulsions without complex emulsifier systems.
- Anionic base – an anionic blend that performs well in many cream and lotion concepts.
- Structure builder – helps thickening and texture development in emulsion systems.
- Blend friendly – compatible with most cosmetic oils and actives when used within recommended ranges.
BEST FOR
- Creams
- Lotions
- Conditioners
- Hair treatment emulsions
- Moisturisers
- Light ointments
FORMULATION GUIDELINES
| INCI | Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Sodium Lauryl Sulfate |
|---|---|
| Type | Anionic self‑emulsifying wax blend |
| Solubility | Oil phase / water dispersible once emulsified |
| Use Rate | 2–10% typical in creams and lotions; 3–6% is a common starting range for balanced texture. |
| ASM (Active Matter) | N/A |
| CMC (Critical Micelle Concentration) | N/A (emulsifier blend, not a primary surfactant on its own) |
| pH Compatibility | We recommend finished product pH 5.0–7.0 in most emulsions to support stability and skin comfort. |
| Temperature Tolerance | Melting range ~50–55°C. We recommend heating oil + wax phase to ~70°C then adding water phase at similar temperature for best emulsification. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} |
| Pro Tip | Melt Ewax BP fully with your oil phase to avoid graininess. Emulsify hot by adding the water phase gradually with good shear. Always test final viscosity and stability after cooling, and adjust thickeners or structuring agents if needed. |
| Appearance | White to ivory flakes |
| Stability Notes | Stable in typical cream and lotion systems. Compatibility with strong anionic surfactants should be tested on a per‑formula basis. |
| Storage | Keep sealed, cool, and dry. Protect from moisture and high heat. |
