| INCI | Sunflower wax, sodium alginate, caprylic/capric triglyceride |
| Manufacture | Sunflower wax is made from winterization of sunflower oil. Triglyceride is produced by hydrolyzing coconut oil to yield fatty acids and glycerol. The fatty acids undergo distillation to separate them into fractions of different chain lengths. The C8 caprylic acid and C10 capric acid fractions are then re-esterified with glycerol to form triglyceride.Alginate is obtained from brown algae. |

| Uses | Add 4-10% to water and blend (stick blender) until smooth. Use water at room temperature or hot water for best results. By adding an emulsifier the product will have a smoother consistency, without an emulsifier it will be grainy and not uniform. By adding additional oils and active ingredients to the blend the cold emulsion can be easily personalized to your specific needs. For external use only.Sample Formulation: Water 86%, ICE Alginate 6%, Polysorbate-20 2%, Plant Oil 5%, Preservative 1%, Fragrance. |
