Formulation Guidelines

Kester Wax K-24 will give a dry and powdery feel on the skin alone. When combined with other oils, esters and sunscreens it works to “de-grease” formulations. Scientists can regulate the esthetics of their product by using K-24 without producing the occlusive skin feel found using esters and oils alone.
