Milliard Emulsifying Wax NF Pastilles 8 oz — Non-GMO Plant-Derived, Odorless Beads for Stable Creams & Lotions

Milliard Non-GMO Emulsifying Wax NF pastilles are plant-derived beads that let home formulators and makers bind oils to water to create stable creams, lotions, and soaps.

If you make skincare, haircare, or bath products at home, using a reliable emulsifier is essential. These odorless, translucent off-white pastilles melt smoothly and help form consistent, stable emulsions without added synthetic fillers. The product conforms to National Formulary (NF) standards and is refined from palm sources, offering predictable performance for small-batch cosmetic and soap projects.

How do these pastilles make creams and lotions stable?

Milliard emulsifying wax works by creating an effective bridge between oil and water phases, producing a smooth, homogenous texture that resists separation. It is easy to incorporate: melt with your oil phase, then blend into the warmed water phase while mixing.

• Use 3–6% of total recipe weight for typical lotion thickness and stability.
• Melting point 50–54°C for predictable handling and heating time.
• Hydroxyl value 178–192 indicates consistent hydrophilic properties.
• Non-toxic, odorless beads that don’t alter fragrance choices.

What technical specs matter for DIY formula accuracy?

Knowing the product’s analytical values helps you design repeatable recipes and anticipate behavior in varied formulations. These specifications are useful when swapping emulsifiers or scaling batches.

• Iodine value NMT 3.5 and saponification value NMT 14 for oxidative and saponification predictability.
• pH range 5.5–7.0 supports skin-friendly final product compatibility.
• Refined from palm and free of additives, meeting NF standards for cosmetic use.
• Sold as 8 oz (approx. 227 g) of pastilles for small-batch projects and testing.

How do I use Milliard emulsifying wax in a recipe?

Measure the wax as part of your oil phase, fully melt it, and then emulsify into the heated water phase while mixing steadily. Cool under continued stirring until the emulsion sets, then add heat-sensitive actives or fragrances at lower temperatures.

• Melt at or above 50–54°C with oils until uniform and clear.
• Add to water phase at similar temperature to form a strong emulsion.
• Stir until cooled to incorporate preservatives, fragrances, or actives safely.
• Adjust wax percentage for thicker or lighter textures (3% light, 6% richer).

Who is this for? This product suits hobbyists, indie cosmetic makers, soap crafters, and small-batch skincare entrepreneurs who need a consistent, plant-derived NF-grade emulsifier. It’s ideal for anyone testing formulations, creating travel-size products, or seeking a neutral, non-GMO ingredient that won’t compete with fragrances or actives. Because it comes in a convenient 8 oz package, it’s practical for trial recipes and scaling up once a formula is finalized.

Specifications and proper handling are provided to help you create predictable results: use recommended percentages for texture control, match temperatures during mixing for reliable emulsions, and store the sealed pastilles in a cool, dry place to maintain quality. Whether making body lotion, facial cream, or specialty soap, these emulsifying pastilles offer a straightforward way to achieve stable, smooth products without added fillers.
