INCI Name
Hydrolyzed Sunflower Seed Wax
Description
This entirely hydrolyzed sunflower seed wax is much more hydrophilic and polar, making it better suited for emulsions. Provides very high viscosity at low concentration and leads to a butter-like texture. Generates a superb velvety skin feel that is ideal for every cream or lotion.
In W/O emulsions it provides very high viscosity even at low concentrations (0.5–1.5 %) and leads to a butter-like texture. Used in O/W emulsions, it forms a stabilizing network supporting body, texture, and substantivity. Can be used as an alternative to fatty alcohols in hair conditioning and as opacifier for shampoos and surfactant-based products.
