Nonionic emulsifying wax

Other names: Emulsifying Wax NF

Nonionic emulsifying wax, otherwise known as Emulsifying Wax NF, is an important ingredient in the cosmetic industry, especially for the production of cosmetic emulsions, which are mixtures of water and fats. Emulsifying waxes are important for stabilizing this mixture and ensuring that its components do not separate. Nonionic emulsifying waxes are specially formulated to be ion-free and thus compatible with a wide range of other ingredients.

Emulsifying Wax NF is added to a wide range of cosmetic products. These include various creams and lotions where it helps maintain their consistency and enhances their moisturizing capabilities. The wax also enhances the ability of the cream or lotion to absorb into the skin, improving its effectiveness. Furthermore, emulsifying wax is also used in certain types of makeup or hair products such as conditioners where it helps to give hair shine and a healthy look. Although it is a synthetic ingredient, it is generally considered safe for both the user and the environment.
