Emulsifying Wax - Soft & Silky: What Makes It "Soft & Silky"?

Unlike traditional emulsifying wax, this formula combines Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth-20, creating a softer, more cushiony feel with a noticeably lighter finish. It's ideal for formulating products that absorb quickly and leave behind a smooth, dry-touch finish—without compromising stability. Whether you're making light lotions or sprayable conditioners, this emulsifying wax soft and silky helps your formulation feel refined and professional, making it an ideal choice for both retail-ready products and luxury DIY projects.

Emulsifying Wax - Soft & Silky: How to Use

Weigh & Melt: Measure your soft and silky emulsifying wax by weight and add to the oil phase of your recipe. Heat & Combine: Heat both oil and water phases separately to 160–170°F. Slowly add the water phase to the oil phase while mixing. Blend & Cool: Use a stick blender or high-shear mixer to emulsify. Stir as the mixture cools to room temperature and thickens. Pro Tip: For sprayable products like leave-in conditioners, use lower percentages (1–3%) to maintain a fluid consistency.
