It has the property of absorbing a large amount of water, so it can be used in the preparation of emulsions.

It does not dissolve in water but can be easily rinsed off with water and soap.

In its hydrated form (usually mixed with water 50%, 1:1), it is used for the preparation of more complex ointments (with the addition of water- or fat-soluble substances, pharmaceutical creams, etc.)

It offers the pure form of cream you desire to create your own specialized homemade product.
