Product details

33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. Emulsifying Wax NF pastilles are a 100% plant-derived, non-GMO cosmetic emulsifier designed to bind oil and water for stable, silky lotions, creams and hair formulas.

Formulated for makers and small cosmetic brands, these resealable 1 lb (16 oz) pastilles melt smoothly into oil phases and create stable emulsions with a soft, powdery finish on skin and conditioning slip for hair. Cosmetic-grade and produced in the USA, this wax is suited for a wide range of personal-care recipes from body butters to detangling sprays.

How does this emulsifying wax help my lotion or cream stay blended?

Emulsifying Wax NF acts as a molecular bridge between oil and water, forming a consistent, creamy emulsion that resists separation. It works well with natural oils and many silicones, producing a smooth texture without a greasy feel.

  • Creates stable oil-in-water emulsions for creams and lotions
  • Compatible with plant oils, butters and some silicones
  • Melts uniformly for predictable processing and texture

Will this wax condition hair and improve shampoo or conditioner texture?

Yes — emulsifying wax adds a conditioning layer that improves combability and tactile softness in hair formulations. In shampoos and conditioners it contributes to a silky, detangled feel while helping distribute oil-based actives evenly.

  • Enhances slip and manageability in conditioners and detanglers
  • Supports creamy, spreadable shampoo and mask textures
  • Useful in rinse-off and leave-in hair products for conditioning effect

How do I use these pastilles safely in my DIY batches?

Measure by weight and melt the pastilles into the oil phase at a low, controlled temperature, then combine with the heated water phase while homogenizing. Allow the emulsion to cool while stirring to lock in structure; test small batches to dial in percentage for your desired feel.

  • Typical usage: 2–10% of total formula, depending on desired creaminess
  • Melt in oil phase at recommended temperatures for your formulation
  • Use reliable mixing (immersion blender or homogenizer) for stable emulsions

What product features and quality assurances does this offer?

These pastilles are cosmetic grade, non-GMO and plant-derived, supplied in resealable packaging to preserve quality. Manufactured in the USA, they are intended for professional and hobbyist formulators who need predictable performance and a refined skin feel.

  • 100% plant-derived, non-GMO emulsifying wax NF pastilles
  • Resealable bag for freshness and easy storage
  • Cosmetic grade — used by small brands and DIY formulators

Who is this for? Small-batch makers, indie cosmetic brands, formulators and advanced hobbyists who create creams, lotions, body butters, scrubs, shampoos and conditioners will appreciate this emulsifier. It’s suitable for those seeking a plant-derived, non-GMO option that produces a smooth, stable emulsion with a powdery-silk finish and improved hair conditioning properties.

FAQ

Q: Is this emulsifying wax suitable for sensitive skin formulas?

A: Yes. It's cosmetic-grade and plant-derived, commonly used in gentle skin creams, but always patch-test and review full formula compatibility.

A: Typical use ranges from 2–10% of the formula by weight; start with 4–6% and adjust for texture and stability.
