Sunflower Wax is a hard, crystalline, high melting point vegetable wax obtained from winterization of sunflower oil and is Ecocert certified. This wax functions as a consistency modifier in sticks and emulsions (W/O and O/W). It helps to thicken the formulation by providing a rigid structural network of wax crystals, improving oil binding, emolliency, film formation and lubricity. In sticks, Sunflower Wax contributes to hardness, texture, strength and mold release. Sunflower Wax consists of long chain saturated C-42 to C-60 esters derived from fatty alcohols and fatty acids. Advantages: Excellent Oil Gelling Natural - Ecocert Skin Feel Natural Wax Properties: Melting Point: 74-77ºC Saponification Value: 78-92 Acid Value: < 8 Color: Light Yellow
