33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. Emulsifying Wax NF Pastilles — 1 lb (100% Plant-Derived, Non-GMO Cosmetic Grade)

33RD PARALLEL SOAP CO. Non-GMO Emulsifying Wax NF pastilles are a 100% plant-derived, cosmetic-grade emulsifier used to blend oil and water for lotions, creams, soaps and hair products.

These small, easy-melt pastilles provide formulators and home crafters a reliable way to stabilize emulsions while adding a lightweight, powdery finish to skin and a soft conditioning feel to hair. Sourced and manufactured in the USA, this one-pound resealable package supplies enough emulsifier for multiple small batches of creams, lotions, conditioners or body butters. The NF grade indicates cosmetic suitability and consistent performance in cold- or hot-process formulations.

How does this emulsifying wax make lotions and creams stable?

The Emulsifying Wax NF molecules position themselves between oil and water phases and form a stable interface, preventing separation. That stability keeps creams smooth, uniform and longer-lasting on the shelf without gritty texture. It performs well with a range of carrier oils and silicones for more flexible formulations.

• Forms stable oil-in-water emulsions for lotions and body creams
• Works with botanical oils, esters and light silicones
• Helps prevent phase separation and improves texture
• Easy-to-measure pastille format for consistent dosing

Why choose a non-GMO, plant-derived NF grade wax for hair and skin products?

Plant-derived, non-GMO wax reduces reliance on petrochemical-derived emulsifiers and supports cleaner-label formulations. The NF (National Formulary) cosmetic-grade designation signals suitability for topical products with predictable melting and emulsifying behavior. It also contributes a soft, powdery skin feel and light conditioning properties that many users expect from premium personal care items.

• Non-GMO, 100% plant-derived ingredients for cleaner labels
• Cosmetic NF grade suited for topical applications
• Adds a silky, powdery finish to formulations
• Enhances hair manageability and softness in conditioners

How do I use these pastilles when making soap, lotions, or hair products?

The pastilles melt quickly over low heat or in a double boiler and are typically incorporated at the oil phase before combining with water. Typical use rates range from low single digits up to higher percentages depending on cream thickness or conditioning need. Always test small batches for texture and stability before scaling to larger volumes.

• Melt in oil phase; combine with heated water phase for emulsions
• Adjust usage rate to control cream thickness and conditioning
• Compatible with perfuming agents, botanicals, and additives
• Resealable packaging helps preserve pastille integrity between uses

Will this emulsifying wax work with other ingredients like silicone or butters?

Yes—Emulsifying Wax NF blends well with many oils, butters, esters and light silicones used in modern formulations. It helps disperse heavier phases evenly through the water phase, improving spreadability and skin feel without heavy residue. Compatibility testing is recommended for complex or unfamiliar ingredient blends.

• Mixes with natural butters (shea, cocoa) and carrier oils
• Compatible with light silicones and common esters
• Improves spread and reduces greasy after-feel
• Best practice: small stability trials before full batches
