Wickenol 506 is a non-oily, soft waxy emollient with a low melting point. It is used in low oil content creams and body lotions where it gives an elegant velvety feel to the skin. Wickenol 506 imparts luster and body to the hair when incorporated into shampoos and crème rinses. It reduces tackiness and acts as a lubricant and plasticizer for polymer resins in aerosol hair spray formulations and anti-perspirants.
