A structured approach to wax selection for optimised formulation design

Waxes are different classes of hydrophobic, solid organic compounds widely used in beauty and personal care formulations. Acting as structuring agents, they thicken and provide stability to stick and hot poured systems.

Beyond their functional benefits, waxes influence the sensory experience, aesthetics, technical performance, and overall quality of finished cosmetic products.

Our new 'Waxes - Your essential selection guide' is designed to help you find the right wax for your next beauty innovation. Our Syncrowax range is a range of synthetic wax esters, specifically designed to provide stable, uniform properties in a wide range of products, from lipsticks and make-up preparations to emulsion-based creams and lotions. Each Syncrowax product has its own attributes and confers structuring and bodying properties to varying degrees.
