Skin Care
It can be used in virtually all products that have an oil component in them such as creams, lotions, massage bars, lip balms and serums.
It is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin.
It helps to ensure that you get no grainy or granular effect in your body butters - this is especially good with shea butter.
It inhibits crystallization in the oil phase and enhances the stability.
Your balms will not have a “draggy” beeswax feeling at all, but will have an elegant glide.
Turning a blend of vegetable oils into a silky feeling skin gel is easy.
Use between 1% to 29% and ensure that the oils that are heated are heat stable and add the more heat sensitive oils in the slow cool down stage.
Creams and lotions can be made even more stable by using Cera Bellina as a co-emulsifier.
This becomes very important if the third stage ingredients you want to add might make a regular emulsification become unstable and separate.
