Anyone use these?
I recently started using Oliwax LC, Cetyl Esters, and Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil in separate products (emulsions and balms).
The Oliwax LC reminds me of OliveM 1000 with a soapy effect upon application. It touts humectant abilities if used 1-3%, but I’ve yet to experience that.
Cetyl esters gives the product a beautiful thickness and creamy feel with a quick drying effect.
The hydrogenated cottonseed oil gives the product a soft balm texture…but I’ve only used it with oils like Grapeseed and Jojoba (which might be overkill given the fact jojoba oil is already a liquid ester).
Anyone else use these ingredients before? I’m looking for some inspiration and advice. Thanks! ????

Where I am from, Oliwax LC has this inci: Cetyl Palmitate (and) Sorbitan Palmitate (and) Sorbitan Olivate
I have used it a few times…. but found it not much different, than using Cetyl palmitate, by itself.
I think I prefer just Myristyl Myristate in this space, (of course with fatty alcohols, etc). But as always….just depends on what you are trying to make…and accomplish.
Good Luck.

The biggest jump I ever made in formulation….was when I cut all oils by 50-70%, and added polymethylsilsesquioxane and pentylene glycol to the bench, and I guess while we’re at it….let’s not forget D5.

Funny you mention MM because I was thinking “why am I changing up my game when I love the feel of a lotion with it?” Oh I know why…I was trying to stay with COSMOS/ECOCERT ingredients and I can’t fully determine if MM fits the bill.
I think I’m going back to things that work for me and are still safe for cosmetic use.
And Cetyl Alcohol is a must!
