Emulsifying wax is a substance used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations to help stabilize and thicken emulsions. Emulsions are mixtures of two immiscible liquids, typically oil and water, which do not naturally mix. Emulsifying wax acts as a surfactant, reducing the surface tension between the two phases, enabling them to blend together more effectively.
