Polawax provides excellent stability and is very easy to use. It can be used to make thick or thin emulsions, depending upon the concentration used. In lotions and creams, it functions as an all-in-one emulsifier, allows for stable emulsions without the need for a co-emulsifier or stabilizer. It also contributes some thickening. In cleansing oils and balms, it creates products that self-emulsify on contact with water. It also brings the “cleansing” element.
