Natural Olive Emulsifying Wax

NATURAL OLIVE EMULSIFYING WAX

Natural Olive Emulsifying Wax is a high-performing emulsifier derived from the oil extracted from premium Tanche olives grown in Provence, France. Rich in oleic acid and antioxidants, this ingredient offers superior emulsifying power, with a biomimetic structure that supports stable liquid crystal emulsions and delivers both performance and a pleasant feeling to the skin.

In addition to giving formulations excellent stability, this multifunctional wax comes with incredible moisturising, antioxidant, and skin-conditioning benefits, all while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. It also supports active ingredient delivery and enhances the spreadability and texture of creams and lotions.

Natural Olive Emulsifying Wax

AWO’s Natural Olive Emulsifying Wax is an invaluable ingredient for many cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Natural Olive Emulsifying Wax must be melted before use to work effectively and added during the heated water or oil phase of your formulation (adding it to the water phase to achieve a thinner emulsion, or to the oil phase for a thicker emulsion).
