Cera Bellina is a derivative of natural beeswax where the free fatty acids have been converted to polyglycerol esters, therefore increasing the hydrophilicity of the molecule. Elimination of these fatty acids improves stability, oil gelling, and increases overall consistency of a formula.
Cera Bellina is similar to beeswax with improved oil gelling properties. It suppresses oil syneresis and inhibits crystallization in formulation.
Uses include dispersions, anhydrous systems, color cosmetics and skin care. Usage levels for improvements as low as 2%.
Appearance: Small off-white pellets/beads
Usage rate: 2 – 30%
Approximate Melting Point: 63-73C
Solubility: Oil
Notes:
Include cera bellina in your heated oil phase; it must be melted to use.
Products made with it can feel quite greasy, so its recommended to use more faster absorbing oils
The inclusion of cera bellina in your formulas can help prevent graininess in butters like shea butter.
