Essentially Natural Montanov 68 MB is a non-ionic oil-in-water emulsifier used to create creams, lotions and milks with a rich, spreadable texture. It forms lamellar structures that help contribute to a comfortable skin feel and stable emulsions across a broad pH range. The pellet format makes it easier to weigh, melt and work into heated formulations. This is a formulation ingredient, not a finished cream.

♡ Why we love it: Montanov 68 MB is a dependable emulsifier for richer natural-style emulsions. It gives formulators a practical balance of elegance, stability and broad compatibility, while the pellet format makes repeated batch work easier.

Outstanding Experience with Quality Products!

I had an amazing experience with Essentially Natural. I ordered sample clays. Rhassoul Clay, Green Clay, and Activated Charcoal along with a new emulsifier I'll be trying, Montanov 68. Aiden’s customer service was exceptional from start to finish.

He went above and beyond by sending me photos of the products before purchase and giving clear, insightful guidance on what to expect when working with Montanov 68. His expertise and patience made my decision making so much easier. It’s rare to find a company that offers this level of personalised care. I truly appreciate the effort put in to support me.

Outstanding service and I'm extremely happy with my products! I’ll definitely be ordering again!

Excellent

Made a flax seed leave in conditioner with this. I absolutely love how it came out. I made a small amount which I later regretted. Not bad for a first time working with an emulsifier.

Can I use this with beeswax to make mascara

Essentially Natural

Hi there Janine,

Thank you so much for your question :)

Montanov 68 is an emulsifier, so it’s typically used to help combine water and oil phases in a formulation. Beeswax, on the other hand, helps provide structure and thickness.

So while both can form part of a mascara formulation, they wouldn’t be enough on their own to create a stable mascara.

Mascara usually requires a combination of:
- waxes (like the beeswax you mentioned) for structure
- oils for smooth application
- an emulsifier (like Montanov 68) if a water phase is included
- and pigments (like iron oxides) for colour

We hope that helps, and please do reach out if you have any further queries.

Warm regards,
Aiden
