Nautica Ginowax (Polawax GP200) Emulsifying Wax is a non-ionic emulsifying wax used to create stable oil-in-water emulsions in creams, lotions, conditioners, and other personal care products. It is made from an optimised combination of vegetable-derived emulsifiers and stabilisers, which makes it a practical and easy-to-use choice for formulators across a wide range of applications. This ingredient is especially useful when you want a reliable emulsifier for beginner-friendly or repeat formulations. It is a cosmetic raw material for formulation use, not a finished product.

♡ Why we love it: Polawax GP200 is one of those dependable formulation staples that helps take the stress out of making emulsions. It is approachable, versatile, and especially useful when you want a straightforward oil-in-water emulsifier that performs across many product types.

Excellent service always!

Nautica Polawax

Worked very well in emulsifying shea butter with water to create a light weight lotion.

Why do you only supply by the KG? I sit possible to provide in 500g instead?

Essentially Natural

Hi Theresa,

At the moment the Nautica Ginowax/Polawax GP200 is supplied to us in the 1kg pack size, and unfortunately we don’t currently have a 500g option.

I completely understand why 500g would be a handy middle ground though - especially for a smaller formulator who doesn’t quite need a full kilogram at a time! 🌻

We do, however, stock a few alternative oil-in-water emulsifiers in smaller pack sizes, if you’re not specifically tied to Polawax GP200. For example, Olivem 1000 and Montanov 68 are both available in smaller quantities and can be used for creams and lotions, although they do behave a little differently in formulation.

If you let us know what you’re hoping to make, we’d be very happy to help point you towards the most suitable alternative. 😊

Warm regards,
Aiden
