Ozokerite Wax

Ozokerite Wax is a naturally occurring mineral wax derived from the distillation of crude petroleum. It is a blend of hydrocarbons and has a hard, waxy consistency that is typically white or yellowish in color. Ozokerite is commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products for its thickening and emulsifying properties. It is also known for enhancing the texture, stability, and appearance of formulations.

Key Benefits

✔ Acts as a thickening agent, enhancing the consistency and stability of products
✔ Provides texture and structure, helping to form solid formulations like balms and sticks
✔ Improves the spreadability and texture of creams, lotions, and lip products
✔ Offers water resistance, making it suitable for use in waterproof formulations
✔ Works as a stabilizer, preventing the separation of ingredients in emulsions

How to Use

• Typically used in the oil phase of formulations, especially for creating solid or semi-solid products.
• Can be blended with other waxes or oils to achieve the desired texture and consistency.
• Recommended usage: 1-10%, depending on the formulation and desired firmness.
• For external use only.

Applications

Commonly found in lipsticks, balms, creams, lotions, deodorants, and hair care products. Ozokerite Wax is ideal for formulations that require thicker textures, such as solid deodorants, wax-based balms, and cosmetic pencils.
