SELF WAX

Overview

SelfWax is a self-emulsifying wax designed to facilitate the home and professional creation of creams, butters, masks (face, body, and hair), and styling waxes. As a non-ionic emulsifier, it offers compatibility with ionic and cationic systems, making it especially useful when working with a wide variety of active ingredients and surfactants.

Practical applications (DIY and small industry)

• Body cream and butter with a stable texture and good glide.
• Facial and hair masks that incorporate high levels of oils.
• Hair waxes and pomades that require consistency when styling.

How to use it in your recipes

SelfWax is self-emulsifying, facilitating the creation of stable emulsions across a wide pH range. In some systems, a second emulsifier may be recommended to adjust texture or stability to specific needs. Ideal for entrepreneurs offering do-it-yourself workshops: it facilitates scaling from trial batches to small production runs and reduces technical steps in the formulation phase.

Tips for selling and adapting to the Mexican market

Position SelfWax as the perfect ingredient for cosmetic makers and SMEs: it offers printable recipes in Spanish (e.g., "Nourishing Hand Cream"), workshop kits, and clear technical sheets. The sheet highlights its functionality with popular ingredients in Mexico (vegetable oils, butters, and local extracts) and its compatibility with ionic formulations—this builds trust among manufacturers who blend diverse raw materials.
