    Hello

    Has anyone compared the differences between these two Emulsifying Wax NF formulas: Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Polysorbate 20 against Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20? I’ve never used the latter but I’ve read it provides a more silky feel to lotions and creams.

    I’ve used two different vegetable ewaxes nf and it’s the same. Your question might be better answered at the swiftmonkey blog.

    Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Ceteareth-20 looks more whiped/fluffy then Emu NF. As of the fealing in my opinion I would say its lighter not as waxier then the NF but not so silky either. Hope that helps.

    Thanks Jini. Glad to have another opinion. I think I may prefer a less waxy feel.
