Wax Dispersion > suitable for stabilization of opacifying and pearlizing agents in rinse-off formulations
Biodegradable, opacifying wax dispersions offer alternatives to synthetic polymer based opacifiers. The stabilization of these small-sized wax dispersions in rinse-off formulations can be very challenging, specifically if the use of synthetic stabilizing polymers should be avoided.

Technical formulation hints and advantages
- Cold processable
- Easy to formulate
- Stir into the surfactant solution before addition of wax dispersion
- No pre-dispersion, fast and easy distribution
- No viscosity build up in finished formulations, rheology adjustment with sodium chloride (SLES based systems)
- Stabilizes even low viscosity formulations
- Density adjustment of formulations neglectable
- Pleasant and homogenous rheology of finished formulations
(no “pudding” structure as known from some biopolymers, e.g. xanthan gum)
Ecological profile
- Readily biodegradable
- Suitable for concepts according to COSMOS and NATRUE
- Suitable for rinse-off concepts acc. to EU Ecolabel, Nordic Ecolabel, Bra Miljöval
- Natural origin content*1: 100 % (ISO Norm 16128-2)
- Suitable for concepts alternative to EO- and sulfate-containing surfactants
- Cold processable
Appearance
Consumers are increasingly looking for added value and an extraordinary experience whilst using skin and hair cleansing products. A milky, white and creamy appearance for example provides a precious visual effect supporting emotional consumer needs and performance expectations:
- Mild and soft cleansing
- Skin and hair care sensation
- Moisturizing, nourishing
- Hair conditioning and repair
Milk, lotion, cream and yoghurt concepts are gaining interest in the skin and hair cleansing market.
Stabilization Advantages
- Acts as a natural structurant in surfactant systems
- Prevents aggregation of small particles and reduces sedimentation speed
- Stabilizes even low viscosity formulations
- Density adjustments of formulations neglectable
- Pleasant and homogenous rheology of finished formulations
