What is Emulsifying Wax? Emulsifying Wax is an essential ingredient used for making lotions, cream as well as many other cosmetic & beauty products. Think of it as a glue that will hold YOUR own recipe together. We have all seen how oil will always separate from a mixture almost instantly after sitting for a while you can clearly see that small balls of oil floating. The Milliard Brand Emulsifying wax is what you need to hold the mix together, especially if mixing in essential oils. Lotions and creams are created from a mixture of water and oil. Without Emulsifying wax you can be sure that the mix won’t hold as intended. How Does it Work? Emulsifiers actually work on a molecular level, by attracting both water and oil to different sites at the same time. Water is a polar material. Things that like water are also called polar materials. Polar materials are also called hydrophilic. Hydrophilic materials are water-loving materials. Non-polar materials like olive oil are hydrophobic. Hydrophobic means water fearing. An emulsifier has a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion. This essentially means that it can effective bind both water and oils. It means that some structures of the emulsifier attract oil, while others soak up water like a sponge. Each part traps the liquid keeping it from breaking free to separate. As an added bonus, because the oil remains mixed with the water, the wax actually helps the oil penetrate the skin, thereby replacing lost moisture. Milliard Emulsifying Wax Pastilles are just the thing to pair up oil and water-based ingredients in your cosmetics and craft recipes for the perfect texture in lotions, creams, and balms. Emulsifying wax works on a molecular level to bind oil and water together to work as one.
