Why isn Polawax in the CTFA dictionary?
Polawax is monographed in the National Formulary as Emulsifying Wax NF. The CTFA acknowledges this nomenclature as acceptable for labeling purposes and has stated that an INCI name is therefore unnecessary. The monograph can be found in the NF section at the back of the USP24/NF19 on page 2536. It is listed under the W’s for Wax; the monograph is titled “Emulsifying Wax”.
