PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is widely recognized for its surfactant, solubilizing, emulsifying, emollient, cleansing, and fragrance enhancing properties. It is derived from the hydrogenation of castor oil combined with polyethylene glycol (PEG), making it a staple in a broad spectrum of products for its ability to blend water and oil components, enhance product texture, and boost foam formation.

Use in heated oil, or in cool down phase at 1% to 10%, although it’s safe to use up to 100% (Neat) on skin. PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is great for formulators aiming to deliver high-quality, effective, and consumer-appealing products.
