Benefits
  • Increases the oil phase viscosity in emulsions improving high temperature stability and overall product substantivity
  • Allows stick formulations to withstand the heat and prevent expulsion of liquid from a gel during high temperature variations
  • Improves oil hardness and crystal structure for hot pour applications
  • Reduces oil bleed
  • Enhances film formation for color retention
Use
Add to hot oil phase (150-163°F). Typical use level 2-8%. For external use only.
