Only Polawax by Croda is entitled to be on a label as emulsifying wax NF. Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I remember that... someone follow up for >me... and prove me right or wrong.... /Alaska > Hi , As used on many listgroups, the word " Emulsifying Wax " covers a multitude of raw materials that have a waxy feel or consistency and have the ability to emulsify oils into water. From the perspective of INCI names, there is only one Emulsifying Wax and that is sold by a company called Croda under the trade name of Polawax. Actually, the real INCI name for Polawax is " Emulsifying Wax NF " . Using INCI names, there is NO such thing as just " Emulsifying Wax " . All other emulsifying waxes are different and therefore must have different INCI names. When you purchase your emulsifying wax online, you should asked the vendor for the proper INCI name and ask for a Material Safety Data Sheet, MSDS. The OSHA Hazard Communication Standard requires, by law, vendors to supply a MSDS with the shipment of each chemical sold. If your vendor doesn't want to include an MSDS and provide you with the proper INCI name, that vendor either doesn't really know what they are selling or they don't want you to know what they're selling. In either situation, I would SERIOUSLY consider a different source of emulsifying wax.

Sherri at OSHUN Spirit Arts is in BC! She is one of the best and I know she carries Polawax. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi, I am shopping around for a good emulsifying wax. There seems to be a lot of options. I want one that doesn't have any animal products. Does anyone want to share their preferences....My current supplier seems to think that castor wax is an emulsifier but I haven't had any luck with this. Thanks, (who currently makes lotions that seperate) Burman www.cocoonapothecary.com --------------------------------- Post your free ad now!
