Essentially Natural Eco E Wax

• INCI Name: Glyceryl Stearate SE
• Type: Complete emulsifying wax (self-emulsifying)
• Emulsion Type: Oil-in-water
• Charge: Anionic
• Source: Vegetable based, from sustainably sourced palm oil sources
• Certification: ECOCERT approved
• Appearance: Wax, flakes or pellets
• Melting Point: 60°C
• Typical Usage Rate: 3 to 7%

• Face and body creams and lotions
• Hair conditioners and creamy hair treatments
• Baby care creams and gentle moisturisers
• Emulsified products where a complete emulsifier is needed
• Formulas that want a soft, conditioned skin feel without heavy waxiness

Eco E Wax Is For:

• Formulators creating oil-in-water emulsions with plant-based ingredients
• Makers who want a complete, easy-to-use emulsifying wax
• Cream, lotion, and emulsified hair-product making
• Natural-style formulas using ECOCERT-approved ingredients

Eco E Wax Is Not For:

• Palm-free formulation requirements
• Water-in-oil emulsion systems
• Finished-product expectations without formulation

• As an Emulsifier in Creams and Lotions: Use at 3 to 7% depending on the texture and stability required.
• As a Standard Emulsion Method: Add Eco E Wax to the heated oil phase and heat to full melt, then combine with the heated water phase and emulsify with good mixing.
• As a Stability Booster: While it can emulsify alone, it can also be paired with a stabiliser such as a gum or fatty alcohol to improve viscosity and stability.
• Processing Tip: Heat both phases to a similar temperature, around 70°C is common in many processes.
• Processing Tip: Mix thoroughly during emulsification for best results.

• For cosmetic formulation use only
• Avoid inhaling dust if the product is in fine particulate form
• Keep out of reach of children
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight
• Use clean, dry utensils to avoid introducing moisture into the container

Q: What does “SE” mean in Glyceryl Stearate SE?
A: It stands for self-emulsifying, meaning it is supplied with emulsifying components that allow it to form oil-in-water emulsions.

Q: Can Eco E Wax be used on its own?
A: Yes. Stable emulsions can be made with it alone, though many formulas also benefit from a stabiliser for better thickness and long-term stability.

Q: What type of emulsion does Eco E Wax make?
A: It is designed for oil-in-water emulsions, which are typically lighter-feeling creams and lotions.

Q: Is Eco E Wax palm-derived?
A: Yes. The source states that it is vegetable based and derived from sustainably sourced palm oil sources.
