This is how the plant protects itself against external influences such as moisture and pests. This natural wax is obtained by extraction from the hulls and is therefore a by-product of sunflower oil production – making it an \u003cstrong\u003eupcycled product\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunflower wax is enjoying growing popularity in cosmetics, as well as in food and technical applications. In cosmetic products, it is primarily used as a consistency enhancer in sticks and balms, as its \u003cstrong\u003ehigh melting point\u003c\/strong\u003e gives it significant consistency and offers \u003cstrong\u003ehigh heat stability\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough hydrolysis, the sunflower wax is modified, making it significantly more \u003cstrong\u003ehydrophilic and polar\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means it is no longer just oil-soluble but also water-dispersible. Consequently, hydrolyzed sunflower wax acts as an emulsifier and can be used as a \u003cstrong\u003eco-emulsifier and consistency enhancer\u003c\/strong\u003e in emulsions. It is therefore also an interesting \u003cstrong\u003ealternative to beeswax\u003c\/strong\u003e, which also has co-emulsifying properties. However, sunflower wax is significantly harder and does not feel as dull on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn O\/W emulsions, it forms a stabilizing network that supports body, texture, and substantivity. It creates \u003cstrong\u003every high viscosities\u003c\/strong\u003e, even at low concentrations, and gives products a \u003cstrong\u003ebutter-like, rich texture\u003c\/strong\u003e with more body and an elegant application feel. This results in a wonderfully velvety-smooth skin feel that makes any cream or lotion richer and more nourishing without feeling greasy or waxy. At the same time, the wax supports the skin barrier and \u003cstrong\u003ebinds moisture\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skin for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn W\/O emulsions, it creates a particularly high consistency and, due to its high melting point and long-chain character, is the ideal stabilizer for this type of emulsion. Just 0.5 - 1% can make a decisive difference here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrolyzed sunflower wax can also be used as a consistency enhancer \u003cstrong\u003ein anhydrous products\u003c\/strong\u003e, similar to other waxes. It gives products a firm texture and good hardness, but does not feel as dull as other waxes, instead feeling creamier and smoother on the skin. Furthermore, its water-binding properties make it more nourishing and moisturizing. As a light emulsifier, it can even be used to integrate small amounts of water-soluble substances and active ingredients (e.g., honey) into stick products. In addition, it is a good \u003cstrong\u003edispersing agent for pigments\u003c\/strong\u003e and is therefore often used in decorative cosmetics, such as lipsticks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydrolyzed sunflower wax is a versatile consistency enhancer that can significantly change the structure and skin feel of emulsions, thus enabling \u003cstrong\u003einnovative textures\u003c\/strong\u003e. For example, it can be used in \u003cstrong\u003ehand creams\u003c\/strong\u003e to increase the skin's protective effect. As a co-emulsifier, it enables the production of butter-like, high-viscosity creams that still contain a high water content and thus have a moisturizing and surprisingly fresh effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsage concentration and processing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003euse as part of the oil phase\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMelting range: 65 - 71 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e0.3 - 3% in emulsions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e3 - 20% in anhydrous products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecial features at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ehard, multifunctional wax\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eco-emulsifying and stabilizing in emulsions\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003einteresting alternative to beeswax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ecreates buttery, nourishing textures\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eelegant, creamy skin feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ein sticks, balms, and decorative cosmetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eperfect for W\/O emulsions\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eenables innovative textures\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMatching raw materials for hydrolyzed sunflower wax\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/products\/emullite-wo-palmolfrei\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/products\/emullite-wo-palmolfrei\"\u003eEmuLite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/emulgatoren\/products\/sodium-stearoyl-glutamate\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/emulgatoren\/products\/sodium-stearoyl-glutamate\"\u003eSodium Stearoyl Glutamate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/emulgatoren\/products\/emulwax-rice\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/emulgatoren\/products\/emulwax-rice\"\u003eEmulwax Rice\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/glycerinstearat\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/glycerinstearat\"\u003eGlyceryl Stearate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/olibond\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/olibond\"\u003eOlifeel Pearls\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/flexibond-oelverdicker-palmoelfrei\"\u003eFlexibond\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/collections\/konsistenzgeber\/products\/waxblend-hydrosoft\"\u003eWaxblend Hydrosoft\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Innometics","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":42036759232736,"sku":"W004-50","price":7.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":48390578209100,"sku":"W004-100","price":15.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":42036841742560,"sku":"W004-250","price":38.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":48390557958476,"sku":"W004-500","price":75.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1,000 g","offer_id":48390560612684,"sku":"W004-1000","price":146.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5,000 g","offer_id":48390562218316,"sku":"W004-5000","price":674.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20,000 g","offer_id":48390563365196,"sku":"W004-20000","price":1524.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/6111\/0196\/products\/innometics-sonnenblumenwachs-bio.jpg?v=1636559714","url":"https:\/\/innometiko.shop\/en\/products\/sonnenblumenwachs-hydrolysiert","provider":"INNOMETICS GmbH- Naturkosmetik Rohstoffe \u0026 Know how","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
