Cosmowax™ BP is a self-bodying emulsifying wax consisting of a high quality grade of Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20. Suitable for either cosmetics or pharmaceutical applications, Cosmowax™ BP produces highly stable emulsions and can incorporate most emollient materials normally used in these systems. As an emulsifier base, Cosmowax™ BP is both useful and economical, as it simplifies the formulation of basic oil-in-water creams and lotions and confers stabilizing, as well as emulsifying effects, when compounded into more sophisticated systems.
