Kester Wax K-62 is a naturally derived, medium chain ester wax. Kester Wax K-62 has good thermal stability, very narrow thermal phase change, film forming properties, and wide compatibility in different solvents.

Beeswax, NF-USP 561, White is used to produce creamy textures, for thickening and stability. Beeswax, NF-USP 561, White can be used at any concentration and can augment finished product melt point and add structure. Applications include skin and hair care, color cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, OTC products and nutritional vitamins.

Beeswax, NF PAC, White is used to produce creamy textures, for thickening and stability. Beeswax can be used at any concentration and can augment finished product melt point and add structure. Applications include skin and hair care, color cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, OTC products and nutritional vitamins.

Koster Keunen offers many options for Beeswax in both white and yellow. Koster Keunen NF Beeswaxes meet the monograph of the US Pharmacopeia and can be used in applications such as personal care, OTC and topical pharmaceuticals.

Koster Keunen NF Candelilla Wax is a vegetable wax that contains natural hydrocarbons. Candelilla produces excellent gloss and structure and is ideal for use where firm consistency and high melt point are important. This material complies with the NF monograph and is suitable for food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Koster Keunen offers many options for Beeswax in both white and yellow. Koster Keunen NF Beeswaxes meet the monograph of the US Pharmacopeia and can be used in applications such as personal care, OTC and topical pharmaceuticals.

SynKos™ 2065 Wax is comprised of white, synthetic waxes with unique gelling and texturizing capabilities. SynKos waxes are synthetic polymers that are highly compatible, cost effective waxes that can also replace petrochemical waxes, petrolatum and polyethylene.

PEG Carnauba is a polyethylene glycol derivative of natural Type 1 yellow carnauba wax. Formulators use it as a thickening agent for film forming and emulsifying. It imparts a non-greasy feel to your formulations and gives the final product additional slip feel. PEG Carnauba, a cost effective raw material, provides superior stability. It is film forming and imparts a non-waxy feel when compared with other conventional cosmetic ingredients. In emulsion systems, the high molecular weight monoesters (> C-60) are popular for their film forming and barrier properties. Monoesters are very easy to stabilize using PEG Carnauba.

Synthetic Beeswax is a match of the physical and chemical properties of the natural beeswax. Synthetic Beeswax consists chiefly of a mixture of esters of even-numbered, straight chain acids and alcohols containing 16-36 carbon atoms. The match to natural beeswax is achieved by blending a mixture of fatty acid esters, fatty acids and alcohols from a non-animal raw material source.

Kostene C-30 is a low molecular weight polyethylene. When used in conjunction with volatile oils and solvents such as cyclomethicone, isopar and isododecane, it will act as a thickener and add hardness and slip to formulations.

Kester Wax K-82P is a soft, pliable polyester wax. It has a unique plastic property that imitates the complex ester fraction of beeswax. K-82P suppresses the crystallization of other waxes while retaining high melt points.

Kester Wax LWS is a high molecular weight natural ester blend designed to mimic the chemical and physical properties of lanolin wax. This vegan alternative is a true replacement allowing for one-to-one substitutions in cosmetic formulations.

Beeswax, NF PAC, Yellow is used to produce creamy textures, for thickening and stability. Beeswax, NF PAC, Yellow can be used at any concentration and can augment finished product melt point and add structure. Applications include skin and hair care, color cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, OTC products and nutritional vitamins.

Kester Wax K-72 is a naturally derived, high purity mono-ester wax. Kester Wax K-72 has good thermal stability, very narrow thermal phase change, film forming properties, and wide compatibility in different solvents.

Kester Wax K-60P, a soft pliable wax naturally derived from castor oil, functions as a film former, emollient and plasticizer. Koster Keunen provides formulations using Kester Waxe K-60P to create creamier textures while increasing the stability of your product.
