- Manufacture Information
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a non-ionic surfactant and solubilizer derived from hydrogenated castor oil and ethylene oxide. In cosmetic formulations, it is widely valued for its ability to disperse oils, fragrances, and essential oils into water-based systems, helping to create clear and stable products. Its excellent compatibility with a broad range of cosmetic ingredients makes it a reliable choice for modern formulations.
With a balanced hydrophilic–lipophilic profile, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil supports smooth texture development and uniform ingredient distribution. It contributes to improved product aesthetics without altering the sensory profile of finished formulations. This ingredient is commonly used in rinse-off and leave-on products where clarity, consistency, and stability are desired.
Cosmetic-grade PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is suitable for skincare, haircare, and cleansing products. It is especially appreciated in premium formulations for its versatility, mild character, and ease of use during manufacturing.
