👉 Woodwaxes are a class of synthetic chemical compounds that are used as fat emulsifiers in cosmetics, personal care products, and other products. They are made from natural sources such as wax, which is derived from plants or animals, and can be used to reduce the viscosity of oil-based formulas. Woodwaxes are typically processed using a solvent extraction process to separate the wax from the water and then purified to remove impurities and additives.
