Description Description

All-Purpose Crystalline Wax

Description: Mineral wax consisting of hydrocarbons structured as fine crystals. Off-white slabs, odorless. Melting Point: 70-74°C (158-165°F). Insoluble in water, soluble in warm alcohol, oils & other melted waxes.

Benefits:

Wax with ability to bind oils and solvents (prevent sweating of lipsticks)
Crystals insure high tensile strength and consistency (more malleable than paraffin)
Insures color uniformity in color cosmetics
Compatible with all kinds of oils & waxes

Applications: All kinds of stick cosmetics (lipstick, lip balm, concealers, deodorants), emulsions (creams, lotions), and various other cosmetics.

Use: Add to heated oil phase of formulas, typical use level 1 - 20% depending of product and desired viscosity. For external use only.

Ingredients: Microcrystalline wax

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Microcrystalline Wax an emulsifier by itself? Is Microcrystalline Wax an emulsifier by itself?

Not necessarily. Many waxy or fatty ingredients mainly add body, slip or structure; use a proper emulsifier when the formula contains both oil and water unless the exact material is designed to emulsify.

Can Microcrystalline Wax make a cream thicker? Can Microcrystalline Wax make a cream thicker?

It can increase structure or body in many systems, but final viscosity also depends on the emulsifier, oil phase, water phase and cooling profile.

Why can a cream feel waxy after adding too much Microcrystalline Wax? Why can a cream feel waxy after adding too much Microcrystalline Wax?

Excess structurant can raise drag, heaviness or a waxy after-feel. Reduce it and rebalance the oil phase rather than judging thickness alone.

Can Microcrystalline Wax be used in anhydrous balms and sticks? Can Microcrystalline Wax be used in anhydrous balms and sticks?

Often yes when compatible with the other oils and waxes. Test hardness, payoff, sweating and temperature stability in the final packaging.

Does Microcrystalline Wax need to be melted before use? Does Microcrystalline Wax need to be melted before use?

Solid waxy grades generally need controlled melting in a compatible heated phase. Avoid unnecessary overheating and follow the supplier's processing guidance.

Can Microcrystalline Wax be replaced 1:1 with another wax or fatty alcohol? Can Microcrystalline Wax be replaced 1:1 with another wax or fatty alcohol?

Not reliably. Melting point, crystal structure and sensory feel vary, so substitutions should be trialled rather than made only by weight.

Why can a balm containing Microcrystalline Wax become grainy? Why can a balm containing Microcrystalline Wax become grainy?

Graininess can come from crystallization, cooling rate or interactions among waxes and butters. Adjust the heat/cool process and composition, then retest.

Can Microcrystalline Wax affect fragrance release in a balm or solid product? Can Microcrystalline Wax affect fragrance release in a balm or solid product?

Yes. A firmer or more crystalline matrix can change how quickly fragrance is released, so evaluate scent in the finished product.

What should I check before scaling a formula with Microcrystalline Wax? What should I check before scaling a formula with Microcrystalline Wax?

Check melt behaviour, cooling, texture, sweating, shrinkage, stability and package compatibility in a pilot batch.
