WHAT AM I?
A palm-free, plant based waxy fatty acid. You can usually find me firming up soaps (which are saponified).Â
I improve the texture of products, lending a creamy consistency. You can add me to cleansers, shampoos, conditioners and creams.
I also emulsify, meaning I help oil and water combine. I help shampoos and cleansers remove dirt buildup from skin & hair.
