Ozokerite Wax

Size 100g
Adding to Cart Added to Cart

A substantivity agent, thickener, stabilizer and consistency factor

Description: Mineral wax consisting of hydrocarbons, originally derived from veins in sandstones. It is a multi-use hard wax that will boost your homemade cosmetics, balms and lotions. It allows for better stability and texture for your products. Ozokerite is excellent for making lip balms and salves, as it has a "mold-on" texture when melted, which makes it easy to work.

Ozokerite is a predominantly complex hydrocarbon formulated into a specialty wax. Non-toxic and non-hazardous, thus permitting use in countless personal-care applications. Especially popular in lipsticks. Similar to Ceresin Wax.

Solubility: Insoluble in water & alcohols, soluble in warm oils & other melted waxes

Raw Material Source: Petroleum wax

Benefits:

  • Provides hardness, gel strength and consistency
  • Assures color uniformity in color cosmetics
  • Has emulsifying and emollient properties
  • Compatible with all kinds of mineral and plant oils and waxes

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

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

Ozokerite Wax is ideal for:

  • Lip Balms and Lipsticks: Provides structure and texture while moisturizing the lips.
  • Creams and Lotions: Thickens and stabilizes formulations, enhancing their efficacy.
  • Hair Care Products: Adds texture and hold to styling products such as waxes and pomades.
  • Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a versatile ingredient for various cosmetic products, improving their performance and stability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Not reliably. Ozokerite is typically a stronger structural wax with a different melting profile and sensory feel. Start with a small trial and rebalance liquid oils and other waxes.

It helps build structure, raise firmness and support oil binding. The exact effect depends on the grade and the rest of the wax-oil system.

Excess structurant can create a rigid crystalline network that reduces payoff and flexibility. Balance hardness with emollients and softer waxes rather than chasing maximum firmness.

It can increase structure and reduce pigment settling in anhydrous systems, but good pigment dispersion and the complete rheology system are still required.

Uneven cooling and crystallisation can cause contraction. Control melt temperature, fill temperature and cooling conditions, and evaluate several fill sizes before scale-up.

Add it to the heated oil phase and melt it completely with compatible oils and waxes. Avoid prolonged overheating once the structure is fully melted.

They are related mineral wax materials but should not be assumed identical in hardness, melting point or oil-binding behaviour. Verify the exact grade before substituting.

No. Heat resistance is determined by the full wax/oil/pigment system and must be demonstrated by finished-product testing.

Yes. High wax structure can reduce glide. Adjust the ratio of waxes, emollients and film formers to reach the desired payoff.

No. It is a structuring wax, not a complete oil-in-water emulsifier. A water-containing cream needs a suitable emulsification and preservation system.
