Alternative to emulsifying wax in lotions?

[Guest guest]

Have you tried emulsifying with beeswax?.. I have had some success with

this. It can be a bit trickier playing with amounts to get a stable

emulsification but it can be done.

Greetings All,

As I'm doing research on ALL natural ingredients. There doesn't seem

to be a natural alternative to emulsfying wax (cetyl/stearyl alchol),

which is synthetic. Is emulsifying wax safe, healthy or is it mildly

toxic. I notice it in alot of " Organic " products.

Check this out:

U.S. Patent No. 4,481,185, Grollier et al., Stable Emulsions Obtained From a

Natural Emulsifier Stabilized with Aloes Juice, Nov. 6, 1984, assigned to

Loreal. This patent's term has ended. Here's a link.

or

There are several example recipes listed.

You might also want to take a look at the " References Cite " section and look

up those patents too.

Cool info - I will have to study this later - you know

- I always liked the results achieved adding AVJ to

M & P - I always said it makes a difference when adding

other additives - hmmmmm

Thanks for posting!!
