Jeff • Missouri Date Submitted:  07/12/2016 I Recommend This Product!

"Thick and Rich" COMMENTS:  does not disappoint! My lotion is thick and whipped, light as a feather. Not greasy and does not leave the skin feeling like you have to wipe it off. I also notice it stays on the hands after a wash so you don't feel like you have to add more after each hand wash. If it does not set up right away, leave it be and come back to it a bit later, let it cool off and whip it up again. Holds well in the heat as I have shipped it in super hot weather and no problems.

"Can the Soft and Silky wax be used as a substitute for this? And also why is this more than double the price, what are the special or distinct benefits of the emulsifying conditioning wax over the Soft and silky wax ( I want to use it to make hair conditioner btw.) " Click Here To View 1 answer(s) Posted By: TNH   |   March 06, 2018 Email Me When This Question Gets Answered

Staff Answer All emulsifying waxes will emulsify and thicken products but will leave a different feel to the end product. Most often the Conditioning E-Wax is used in hair conditioners due to the ingredient in this, Behentrimonium Methosulfate. It creates a very creamy hair product.   Posted By: WSP Staff   |   Date: March 08, 2018 Was this answer helpful? Yes | No
