Creme Wax
Description
Creme Wax – Stabilization, Structuring, Liquid Crystal Promoter
Creme Wax is a natural stabilizing agent and liquid crystal promoter designed for use in innovative and sophisticated cosmetic products. Its main role is to reorganize the structure of emulsions, enhancing their stability and viscosity through the formation of a three-dimensional liquid crystal network. The product acts as a sensory modifier and enhancer, imparting density to emulsions while providing an elegant, smooth feel to the touch. Ideal for innovative cosmetic formulas, emulsions, and anhydrous systems.
Ingredients (INCI): Cetyl Palmitate, Sorbitan Palmitate, Sorbitan Olivate.
Technical Characteristics
- Appearance: Cream-white flakes, neutral odor.
- Solubility: Soluble in hot oils. Dispersible in hot water.
- Recommended Dosage: 1.0 - 5.0%
- HLB Value: 7 - 8
- Quality: Product of natural origin, derived from olive oil fatty acids.
Properties and Benefits
- Liquid Crystal Promoter: Reorganizes emulsion architecture, creating a structured network that prevents emulsion degradation such as flocculation, creaming/sedimentation, or coalescence.
- Long-Lasting Hydration: The liquid crystal network formed holds a high water content, which is released upon contact with the skin, offering humectant, moisturizing properties, and a superior sensory feel.
- Consistency and Co-Emulsification: Functions as a co-emulsifier and viscosity builder, enhancing the body and density of emulsions without weighing them down.
- Active Ingredient Promoter: Can positively influence the release of active substances into the skin. It can also enhance the efficacy of makeup remover formulas compared to standard oil-in-water emulsions.
Applications
- Facial care products: creams, balms, emulsions.
- Hand and body care products.
- Makeup and color cosmetics.
- Sun care products.
- Gentle baby care products.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Can be used directly in both emulsions (typically added to the oil phase) and anhydrous systems.
- Recommended Dosage by Application:
- 1% - 3%: In Oil-in-Water (O/W) and Water-in-Oil (W/O) emulsions, acting as a stabilizing, hydrating, and moisture-retaining agent.
- 2% - 4%: In O/W and W/O emulsions specifically as a liquid crystal promoter to modify structure.
- 3% - 4%: In sun care emulsions, also serving as an SPF efficiency booster.
- 1% - 5%: In makeup and color cosmetics as a structuring agent.
