@manny - “Toxicological test data on Ozokerite, Ceresin, Montan Wax, Paraffin, Microcrystalline Wax, Emulsifying Wax N.F, Synthetic Wax and Synthetic Beeswax are presented. Based on the documented animal and clinical test data, it is concluded that these waxes are safe for use as cosmetic ingredients in the present practices of concentration and use.”

@gregwhite - Stability depends on how you make it and the other ingredients in the formula.

@johnb @Perry I would love to draw on your experience here regarding mixing method. I am formulating a Brylcreem type product but I am struggling with stability in particular temperature cycling/ freeze thaw. The current method I have been using is heat oil, calcium hydroxide and waxes to 80C, heat water and water solubles to 50C. Add water phase to oil phase slowly with stirring only to form a pre-emulsion. At 50C add fragrance, antioxidant and extracts and mix for 5 minutes before transferring to a homogeniser and high speed homogenise until a thick, white, glossy emulsion is formed.
Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated. @johnb I have messaged you separately with further information, I hope you don’t mind but given your experience here any advice would be fantastic, many thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. I keep getting this mealy texture. @gregwhite the only difference is that I am making a clay pomade. Have you had any luck getting your emulsion go work? Read my discussions.
