This product is suitable for:

• Formulators creating oil-in-water emulsions with plant-based ingredients
• Makers who want a complete, reliable emulsifying wax that is easy to work with
• Brands looking for ECOCERT-approved emulsifier options for natural and organic products
• DIY makers producing creams, lotions, and emulsified hair products

This product is not:

• Palm-free, it is derived from sustainably sourced palm oil
• Designed for water-in-oil emulsions
• A finished skincare product, it is a raw material for formulation use

• As an Emulsifier in Creams and Lotions: Use at 3-7% 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 benefits from a stabiliser such as a gum (for example xanthan gum) or a fatty alcohol such as cetyl alcohol to improve viscosity and stability.
• Processing Tip: Heat both phases to a similar temperature (around 70°C is common in many processes) and 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: SE stands for self-emulsifying, meaning it is supplied with emulsifying components that allow it to form oil-in-water emulsions.

Q: Can I use Eco E Wax on its own?
A: Yes, stable emulsions can be made with Eco E Wax alone, but many formulas benefit from adding a stabiliser such as a gum or a fatty alcohol for improved thickness and long-term stability.

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

Q: Is this ingredient palm-derived?
A: Yes, it is derived from sustainably sourced palm oil sources.

Q: What temperature does it melt at?
A: Its melting point is around 60°C, so it should be added to the heated oil phase until fully melted.
