Emulsifying Wax (white powder) Megasperse 1402

Megasperse 1402 - Cetearyl Alcohol (and) PEG-20 Stearate

This vegetable (coconut & palm oil) derived wax is used as an emulsifier which blends oils and water together for making creams. It is a carefully balanced combination of selected fatty alcohols and polyethylene glycol esters and is very mild making it one of the more suitable options for sensitive skin.

Physically it is an almost white, hard wax (free flowing microbead) which forms non-ionic, oil/water emulsions of good stability and colour.

It is an ideal base for creams and ointments. The emulsions that it forms are very stable, tolerant of pH and dissolved electrolytes, that is compatible with a wide range of additives, such as emollients and cleansing oils.

Consistency is controllable by varying the water content of the emulsion.

This makes Megasperse an excellent choice as the main emulsifying system in a wide range of cosmetics and toiletries, such as hand creams, day creams, skin lotions, cleansing creams, hair conditioners, etc.

It may be used along with an emollient or a cleansing oil such as glycerin or vegetable oil.

Manufactured in Australia from Palm Oil plantations grown in Australia.
