Technical Details & Test Data

Viscosity Building While Improving Stability: Vegelatum® ingredients are particularly well suited for building viscosity in anhydrous systems, such as lip balms and lipsticks, while increasing the melting point of the formula. Significant cost savings can be realized using Vegelatum® to replace or reduce expensive natural waxes in various formulations.

Functional Replacement of Petrolatum
