Glyceryl stearate SE (SE stands for self emulsifying)

From sustainably sourced palm oil sources.

Our take on palm oil: we do actively try to avoid products that are produced from palm oil sources but sometimes it just isn't possible. Therefore at a minimum, any products containing palm oil must be from sustainably sourced palm oil. Sustainably sourced palm oil may still be a better option than other alternatives, which although won't carry the stigma that palm oil does, can still be farmed and produced unsustainably - in some cases in an even less sustainable manner than palm oil itself. The problem isn't palm oil, it is the way in which unethical producers farm it. The way we see it, supporting sustainably-sourced farmers will help change the way this product is farmed, leading to better environmental policies, while still supporting the communities that depend on palm farming.

Eco E Wax - Best Emulsifier

Eco E wax always performs as expected, I have never been disappointed. I normally include cetearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol in my formulations along with Eco E wax, my emulsions remain stable with a good texture. I have formulated with other emulsifiers that cannot be compared to this.

Natural Eco E Wax

Very happy with the product and with your service! The emulsifier works beautifully with a co-emulsifier such as lecithin, stearic acid or xantham gum, and it has a great skin feel. Quick delivery after the order, too!

Great skin feel

Works great and does not leave a weird skin feel like some emulsifiers tend to do. As stated in the blog it needs some stabilizing ingredients. I used Cetearyl alcohol and it created a beautiful thick cream

Cosmetic Development Lab

I am exceptionally happy with the two orders that i have placed with Essentially Natural to date.

It was GREAT to find a company that had most of the items that I need to make up small samples for clients: I am a Cosmetic Consultant and work from home, have a small lab and have large companies that are very happy to let me have small quantities of product as and when i need it, i just feel uncomfortable and really value finding your business.

Will definitely make use regularly AND, you trun around time is AWESOME:)
