Details
As you can see from the what-it-does list, it's a handy multi-tasker that can do quite many things. It's a white to light yellowish water-loving wax that works very well in oil-in-water emulsions. It not only stabilizes the formula but also helps to thicken it up.
Oh, and one more thing: it's a so-called fatty alcohol - the good, emollient type of alcohol that is non-drying.
