EM Wax (Cetearyl Alcohol (N) & Ceteareth-20) is a complete self-emulsifying wax used to create stable oil-in-water emulsions. It allows oil and water to blend smoothly, giving creams and lotions their structure, consistency, and professional finish.

Think of EM Wax as the backbone of your emulsion — without it, your cream simply won’t be a cream.
