Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 1 – 6%
How to use and incorporate: Melt in the oil phase at 70–75 °C/158–167 °F together with the emulsifier.
Formulation tips:
  • Increases the viscosity and body of emulsions and gives a velvety feel; at high concentrations it may cause whitening on application.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Compatible with nonionic, anionic and cationic emulsifiers (BTMS, behentrimonium chloride), oils and waxes.
Storage: In a cool, dry place in tightly closed containers.
Precautions: None in particular.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
