Two-month visual observations and stabilities for 30/70 wax/oil binaries.
| INCI name | Visual observations and stabilities |
|---|---|
| Ethylene/Propylene Copolymer & Synthetic Wax | Binary homogeneous, satin, slippery and melting. Shrinkage observed with short chain oils |
| Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) wax – Quality A | Very hard binaries and heterogeneous crystallization / recrystallization in all vegetable oils except fatty alcohol. Cracking of the majority of binaries |
| Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) wax – Quality B | Binary hard, homogeneous and shiny but not very slippery / melting. Recrystallization in alkanes |
| Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax – Quality A | Homogeneous, hard, slippery and moderately melting binaries. Sweating with all oils |
| Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax – Quality B | Homogeneous binary except with Coco-Caprylate / Caprate (incompatibility). Stable |
| Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax) – Quality A | Particularly shiny, slippery and melting binaries. Shrinkage observed with short chain oils |
| Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax) – Quality B | Binary homogeneous, hard, slippery and moderately melting. Shrinkage observed with short chain oils |
| Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax) – Quality C | Shrinkage observed in most oils, few melting sensation in alkanes and triglycerides |
| Candelilla Cera (Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax) – Quality D | Particularly shiny and homogeneous binaries but very little slippery and melting. Very slight shrinkage in all vegetable oils |
| Hydrogenated Castor Oil | Ungelled and inhomogeneous binaries |
| Jojoba Esters | Completely inhomogeneous binaries (large crystals visible) |
| Helianthus Annuus Cera Seed (Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax) | Binary homogeneous, hard, slippery and melting. Shrinkage observed with short chain oils |
| Tribehenin | Pasty and inhomogeneous binaries. Formation of a whitish layer on the surface of binaries |
| Glyceryl Behenate/Eicosadioate | Hard binaries, particularly shiny and homogeneous, very slippery and melting. Cracking of the majority of binaries |
