high quality Cosmetics Materials ozokerite wax
Products Description
Ozokerite Wax is typically offered in higher melt ranges of between 60°C and 95°C and is non-hazardous. It is compatible with most vegetable and mineral waxes, as well as vegetable oils, mineral oils, and petrolatums.
Ozokerite Wax is excellent for making lip balms and salves, as it has a "mold-on" texture when melted, which makes it easy to work.
Ozokerite Wax will increase viscosity, assist in emulsion stability and enhance gel strength in liquid and semi-solid systems. It is a hard wax with a relatively high melt point. These characteristics encourage its use in lipstick and lip care products to promote structure and stick strength.
Benefits
- Provides hardness, gel strength and consistency
- Assures color uniformity in color cosmetics
- Has emulsifying and emollient properties
- Compatible with all kinds of mineral and plant oils and waxes
Use
Ozokerite wax is a quite valuable ingredient in cosmetics as well as personal care. It is a texture enhancing agent that keeps the emulsions in a formulation from separating. Since this ingredient has a high melting point, it provides strength and stability to cosmetic products like lipsticks. It can also be found in foundations, sunscreens and lotions.
- Skin care: It has no specific purpose in skin care and is hence rarely used. It is only sometimes added to improve the texture of the skin care products and make them feel good to touch.
- Hair care: In hair care products, it helps reduce frizz and imparts softness.
Applications
All kinds of stick cosmetics (lipstick, lip balm, concealers, deodorants), all kinds of emulsions (creams, lotions).
