SORBETH-8 BEESWAX

Description

SORBETH-8 BEESWAX is a versatile emollient and emulsifier derived from natural beeswax through ethoxylation with sorbitol. This process enhances the solubility and compatibility of beeswax with other cosmetic ingredients, making it ideal for various skincare and haircare formulations.

As an emollient, SORBETH-8 BEESWAX provides a protective barrier on the skin and hair, helping to lock in moisture and prevent water loss. Its film-forming properties contribute to improved product texture and skin feel. In skincare, it aids in creating smooth, creamy formulations that spread easily and absorb well.

SORBETH-8 BEESWAX acts as an effective emulsifier, helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and enhance the overall stability of cosmetic products. It is particularly useful in cleansing balms, lip balms, and hair styling products.

This ingredient is compatible with a wide range of cosmetic ingredients and is suitable for use in both leave-on and rinse-off products. SORBETH-8 BEESWAX is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and can be used in formulations designed for sensitive skin. Its natural origin and multifunctional properties make it a valuable ingredient in modern cosmetic formulations.
