Use as a single emulsifier.
In combination with a co-emulsifier, such as soy lecithin, for an even more emollient effect.
In combination with a gelling agent, such as xanthan gum (0.2–0.3%) in the aqueous phase, it provides a very pleasant glide during application, a fresh feel, and helps stabilise milks and fluid emulsions at low doses of the Gentle Olive Emulsifying Wax.

(*** no effect on stability, ** a decrease in stability has been observed in some cases at low dosages, or temporary destabilisation has been noted when the preservative is added, * risk of emulsion destabilisation)
To make creamy creams: 10 to 30% oil phase and 5 to 10% Gentle Olive Emulsifying Wax
It is possible to create more fluid emulsions by using 3 to 5% Gentle Olive Emulsifying Wax, but a stabiliser will generally be necessary (for example, 0.3% Xanthan gum in the aqueous phase).

Note: The type of vegetable oil used has a significant influence on the texture and feel of emulsions. For example, an emulsion made with avocado oil or wheat germ will have a richer feel than the same emulsion made with a "dry" oil such as hazelnut oil or melon oil. In addition, adding essential oils, certain active ingredients, and certain preservatives to your preparation can change the consistency obtained. Feel free to write down all your experiences to build up a database of information that you can consult each time you formulate a new cream.
