{"product_id":"eco-e-wax","title":"Essentially Natural Eco E Wax","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n  Eco E Wax is a vegetable-based complete emulsifying wax used to make stable oil-in-water creams and lotions. Also\n  known as Glyceryl Stearate SE, it is a self-emulsifying wax that helps create smooth, moisturising emulsions with a\n  soft skin feel. This ingredient is especially popular in natural-style skincare, haircare, and baby-care formulas\n  because it is easy to work with and gives reliable results. It is a raw emulsifier, not a finished product. This\n  ingredient is palm-derived, and RSPO status has not been confirmed in the source provided.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  ♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Eco E Wax because it gives formulators a practical, complete emulsifier that is\n  easy to use across many cream and lotion styles. It is especially useful when a formula needs a gentle, plant-based\n  emulsifying system with a softer, conditioned finish.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Important reading:\n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/blogs\/quick-guides\/quick-guide-to-emulsifiers\"\u003e\n    Quick Guide To Emulsifiers\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  See all our free formulas for creams and lotions: \n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/blogs\/creams-lotions\"\u003eCreams \u0026amp; Lotions\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Also available in: \n  \u003ca title=\"Eco E Wax - Sample Size (10g)\" href=\"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/products\/eco-e-wax-sample-size-10g\"\u003e\n    Sample Sizes.\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties of Essentially Natural Eco E Wax\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eINCI Name: Glyceryl Stearate SE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Complete emulsifying wax (self-emulsifying)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmulsion Type: Oil-in-water\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge: Anionic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSource: Vegetable based, from sustainably sourced palm oil sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertification: ECOCERT approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAppearance: Wax, flakes or pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMelting Point: 60°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTypical Usage Rate: 3 to 7%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Eco E Wax Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFace and body creams and lotions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHair conditioners and creamy hair treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBaby care creams and gentle moisturisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmulsified products where a complete emulsifier is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulas that want a soft, conditioned skin feel without heavy waxiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho is Eco E Wax For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEco E Wax Is For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulators creating oil-in-water emulsions with plant-based ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMakers who want a complete, easy-to-use emulsifying wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCream, lotion, and emulsified hair-product making\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural-style formulas using ECOCERT-approved ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEco E Wax Is Not For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePalm-free formulation requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater-in-oil emulsion systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinished-product expectations without formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use Eco E Wax\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs an Emulsifier in Creams and Lotions: Use at 3 to 7% depending on the texture and stability required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    As a Standard Emulsion Method: Add Eco E Wax to the heated oil phase and heat to full melt, then combine with the\n    heated water phase and emulsify with good mixing.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    As a Stability Booster: While it can emulsify alone, it can also be paired with a stabiliser such as a gum or fatty\n    alcohol to improve viscosity and stability.\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProcessing Tip: Heat both phases to a similar temperature, around 70°C is common in many processes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProcessing Tip: Mix thoroughly during emulsification for best results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEco E Wax Safety Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor cosmetic formulation use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid inhaling dust if the product is in fine particulate form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep out of reach of children\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse clean, dry utensils to avoid introducing moisture into the container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: What does “SE” mean in Glyceryl Stearate SE?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: It stands for self-emulsifying, meaning it is supplied with emulsifying components that allow it to form\n  oil-in-water emulsions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Q: Can Eco E Wax be used on its own?\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  A: Yes.
