@basketsheva it depends on formulation but if you will use only et wax 1% will be very low level for good emulsion.

Polyethylene waxes can have different melting points and different % would be needed to achieve the same viscosity. It also depends on desired viscosity of the product and what else do you have in the formula. You need to experiment with your wax to see what thickness it gives you at different levels. Try samples with 1, 3 and 5% and you will have an idea.
