Emulsifying Wax (Non-Ionic) is a vegetable-derived emulsifying wax helpful for creating oil-in-water emulsions. It is most suitable in oil in water type of emulsions and is the most commonly used substance in its category. It is mild, provides excellent stability, and is very easy to use. It may be used to make thick or thin emulsions, depending upon the requirement, and concentration used.
