Emulsifying Wax NF

INCI Name: Cetearyl Alcohol, Polysorbate 60
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA

Packaging: Boxes, bags, biodegradable bags
Description: Free-flowing, white, waxy beads; slight odor
Applications: Skincare, Soap Manufacturing

Benefits: creates a well-blended oil and water-emulsified product; RSPO; easy to use

Residual solvents and manufacturing note: No solvents are used in the manufacturing of our emulsifying wax. Based on notes from the manufacturer of the Polysorbate 60 used, Ethylene Oxide and 1,4 Dioxane is less than 1 ppm in that specific ingredient, which makes it even less in the finished e-wax product as poly 60 is only part of the formula. No sodium nitrate or any other nitrite or nitrosating agent is used in the manufacturing. No amine or ammonium salt is used in the manufacturing process.

Our natural, plant-based emulsifying wax is used to create lotions, creams, body butter, and other oil and water-emulsified formulas for skin and hair. Incorporating emulsifying wax helps to create a smooth, stable texture. The amount of e-wax you will use depends on the desired firmness of your finished product.

You can use up to 25% of the formula. You will want to test your product to ensure the formula meets the consistency you are looking for, and any time you switch brands of emulsifying wax please re-test products to ensure they remain consistent.

Emulsifying wax NF is a blend of cetearyl alcohol (100% derived from food-grade RSPO Palm), and polysorbate 60 (100% sorbitan stearate ethoxylated from corn). This means that our wholesale emulsifying wax is all-natural and vegetable-based; no synthetics or animal by-products, are common in emulsifying wax.

How to Use Emulsifying Wax for Skin and Hair:

Lotions: lotions are generally considered less viscous than a cream or body butter, therefore you will use less e-wax.

  • Usage: 3-6% of total formula
  • Method:
  1. Melt emulsifying wax along with your other oils and kinds of butter; heat to around 122-140°F
  2. Heat water phase separately
  3. Cool both parts (water and oil) to around the same temperature, then blend
  4. Mix with a high-speed mixer or stick blender until creamy
  5. Add in your other fun ingredients such as clean fragrances, essential oils, active ingredients
  6. You will need to use a preservative as you are blending oil and water together. We have several options, all with specific instructions on when to add and what temperature so be sure to follow those during the process

Body Butters:  you will follow the same steps as for the lotion but increase your percentage of e-wax and decrease the amount of water. Make sure to use a preservative.

  • Usage: 3-10%

Balms and Salves: you can utilize our natural, plant-based emulsifying wax in balms and salves that don’t have a water phase. This will create a firmness in your finished product unlike using just beeswax or other hard wax. If you are not incorporating water, you do not need to use a preservative.

  • Usage: 5-10%
  • How to use: melt with your oils and butter then blend well and allow to cool.

Hair Conditioners: utilizing emulsifying wax in your liquid conditioners gives the finished product a stable texture and maintains the emulsification.

  • Usage: 5-8%
  • How to use: same as with lotions and creams; melt with your oils/kinds of butter then blend well with the water phase. Again, make sure to use a preservative.

Hair Conditioner Bars: we love bar products! You can incorporate our vegetable-based emulsifying wax into your hair conditioner bars to help give hardness to the bar (lasts longer) and to make the finished product more stable.

  • Usage: 5-10%
  • Suggested Formula:
    • E-wax: 5-10%
    • IBT 50:25-30% (this is a conditioning emulsifier that creates a smooth, soft feel in the hair and is a better alternative to BTMS50)
    • Cetyl Alcohol: 5-10% (increased slip and soft hair texture)
    • Natural Oils: 10-15% (oils such as Organic Argan, Organic Amla, Organic Coconut Oil, Oregon grown Hazelnut Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, etc)
    • Butters: Nilotica shea, cocoa, cupuacu, kokum, horsetail, etc.
    • dl-Pathenol:1-2%
    • Hydrolyzed Rice Protein: you can incorporate this product in your finished bar if you use emulsifying wax. This will allow the water based Rice Protein to incorporate into the finished bar. 2-5%
    • Essential oils or Clean Fragrance: 0.5-2%
    • Preservative: you’ll need to incorporate a preservative if you use any water based ingredients, such as Hydrolyzed Rice Protein. You can use the Campo Plantservative Water Based Preservative or a blend of our Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate.
  • Instructions:
    • Melt the oil based ingredients and waxes together. Only heat until just melted then turn off.
    • Cool to around 115°F
    • Add in other ingredients (panthenol, rice protein, scents)
    • Blend well
    • Pour into your molds. Allow to cool either at room temperature or in the fridge to expedite the process
    • Remove from your molds and allow to cure. Minimum cure time is 72 hours but the longer the better.

Our natural, vegetable/plant-based emulsifying wax NF is available in wholesale and bulk 1-pound bio-degradable bags, 5-pound bio-degradable bags, 25-pound bags, and 55-pound sizes. Please email us at [email protected] for orders over 825 pounds.

FAQ
What is emulsifying wax used for?
Emulsifying wax, also sometimes called e-way, is used to blend oil and water together and create an emulsified cream or lotion.
How much emulsifying wax should I use in a lotion?
This really all depends on the final thickness you are looking for and how much of your formula is oil and water, versus harder ingredients like butters, fatty acids, and other thickeners. You will have to experiment in the beginning but a safe guideline is:

20-30% of the total oil phase- this can be just traditional emulsifying wax, or a blend of any of our emulsifying waxes. This works out to be about 3-8% of the total formula. A good starting point is to aim for emulsifying wax to be about 25% of the oil phase of your formula.

If you are creating a thicker butter, then you will use less oils and more butters and fatty acids, so the emulsifying wax will be more of the liquid oil percentage but still maintain about 3-8% of the overall formula.

Here are some suggested levels of usage for emulsifying wax:

Lightweight facial lotion- 4% Standard body lotion- 5% Rich body cream- 7%
The amount of e-wax is directly influenced by the quantity of oils versus butters; if you are using a co-emulsifier such as glyceryl stearate SE, LuxeMuls RSPO,  NatureMuls™ RSPO Natural 3-in-1 Self-Emulsifying Wax, or Olivem1000® MB.It is also influenced by large amounts of butters or other fatty acids, as this will make a thicker product and you will need less e-wax.If you are using a formula with very low oil percentage you will also use less emulsifying wax.
Is your emulsifying wax vegetable-based and plant-derived?
Emulsifying wax NF is a blend of cetearyl alcohol (100% derived from food-grade RSPO Palm), and polysorbate 60 (100% sorbitan stearate ethoxylated from corn). This means that our wholesale emulsifying wax is all-natural and vegetable-based; no synthetics or animal by-products, are common in emulsifying wax.
What's the difference between emulsifying wax and beeswax?
There is a world of difference between emulsifying wax and beeswax. Not only in the way they are made, but in the way your finished product will feel. Emulsifying wax is a blend of ingredients specifically designed to create a fluid and completely blended combination of oils and water. The chemical structure makes oil and water come together and make a lotion or cream. Beeswax is a thickener but is not designed to actually emulsify. It will not blend oil and water together, so you will have separation in your finished formula.  Beeswax is also much stiffer and brittle, meaning your finished lotion or cream can be unstable and a little difficult to smooth in.

Beeswax is a wonderful ingredient to include in your lotions and creams, don’t get me wrong. There are many skin healing benefits from beeswax. If you want to use beeswax but don’t want to use emulsifying wax, I would suggest adding something like laurel wax and cetearyl alcohol. Both will help emulsify and both will create a more supple, softer finished product.
Can I make a lotion with just oil, water, and emulsifying wax?
No. Anytime you have water and oil together you will need a preservative. As an incredibly minimal lotion you could do water, oil, emulsifying wax and a preservative but it won’t be a very interesting feeling product. I would also strongly suggest incorporating stearic acid. This is a fatty acid and this is what gives lotion that lovely, creamy feeling on the skin.
Is emulsifying wax the same as Emulsifying Wax NF?
No, plain emulsifying wax versus emulsifying wax NF are two different products. The NF stands for National Formulary. When you purchase emulsifying wax NF from Shay and Company you are getting a recognized standard emulsifying wax.

The generic term “emulsifying wax” without the NF generally means any functional wax that works as an emulsifier. You can find the ones Shay and Company sells under our Emulsifiers link.
Does emulsifying wax need a preservative in the final product?
Anytime you mix oil and water together, you need a preservative.
Will emulsifying wax thicken my product?
Emulsifying wax contributes to the thickness, but it doesn’t create a thick product all on its own. If you use too much emulsifying wax, trying to create a thicker and thicker product, it can get very waxy. It is much better to incorporate either a co-emulsifier (glyceryl stearate SE, LuxeMuls RSPO,  NatureMuls™ RSPO Natural 3-in-1 Self-Emulsifying Wax, or Olivem1000® MB), and/or other thickening agents like stearic acid, shea butter, kokum butter, mango butter, cetyl alcohol, cetyl stearyl (cetearyl alcohol). The combination of these ingredients is what will create a thick, rich finished formula.
What melt temperature does emulsifying wax need?
Melt emulsifying wax along with your other oils and kinds of butter; heat to around 122-140°F
Is emulsifying wax good for hair conditioner?
You can use emulsifying wax in hair conditioner but it isn’t recommended. Emulsifying wax is specifically designed to blend oil and water. It is not a softening or conditioning agent. You would be better selecting IBT25 or IBT50 as your base emulsifier for hair conditioner.
Is this product food grade?
Not all personal care ingredients are designed to be used internally. It is the buyer’s obligation to determine internal safety of each ingredient. All ingredients supplied by Shay & Company LLC are of food quality and we hereby certify that to the best of our knowledge the product above is produced under food safe conditions and handled in an FDA registered facility. We are not a food or supplement certified facility so ingredients will not come with nutritional, supplemental or food testing or certifications.
How do I get my C of A or SDS or IFRA?

We have SDS and C of A’s uploaded regularly to the website. Each product page should have the current versions. If there is something you’re looking for and cannot find it on the website, please email us at [email protected]. Please include product details including the lot numbers.

  • All C of A’s are listed from oldest to newest lot number. These documents are then kept for five years for our previous customers, but we do not sell expired products.
  • Use the SDS’s to access information about safe handling and storing details on our products.
  • IFRAs are exclusively for fragrance oils and fragrance oil products.
  • Should you find that a product you ordered is missing a C of A, please email our customer service team at [email protected].

Essential Oil Documentation- we do not distill our own essential oils, we work with two distillers that have been in the industry for over 50 years each. That being said, not every EO has all the documentation you want it to have. We will provide what we can, but anything outside of the documentation we have, you will need to obtain from your own outside testing labs.

What if I’m looking for additional testing or documentation?
We provide the standard documents necessary for all skincare ingredients. If you are looking for additional product statements, please check out the tab called “PRODUCT STATEMENTS”. You may find many answers there.
Any additional testing not found on the C of A’s will need to be conducted by you. All tests done are listed on each C of A.
How long will my order take to get to me?

All orders are processed in the order they are received. Normal turn-around is within 24 hours, sometimes the same day. Once shipped, the time it takes to arrive to you depends on which shipping method you selected. At checkout, you will be shown a list of options for shipping and each one will have anestimated arrival date. These are estimates, not guarantees, but they will be close.

What is the return policy?
