PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Hydrogenated Castor Oil

MYOC PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a non-ionic solubilizer and emulsifier made from hydrogenated castor oil that has been reacted with polyethylene glycol (PEG). This modification gives it the ability to disperse oils, fragrances, and essential oils evenly into water-based cosmetic formulations — something the unmodified oil can't do on its own. The result is a versatile, cosmetic-grade ingredient for building clear, stable skincare, haircare, and cleansing products.

Emulsifier & Solubilizer

As a hydrogenated castor oil emulsifier and solubilizer, this ingredient's balanced hydrophilic–lipophilic profile lets it bring oil and water phases together into a smooth, uniform texture — without altering the sensory feel formulators are aiming for. It's particularly effective at pulling essential oils and fragrance oils into clear aqueous systems that would otherwise separate.

Where It's Used

Facial Cleansers & Micellar Waters

Helps dissolve oily residues while maintaining formulation stability.

Shampoos & Hair Cleansers

Enhances fragrance incorporation and overall stability in clear or pearlescent haircare products.

Toners & Facial Mists

Maintains clarity and consistency in aqueous skincare products containing aromatic components.

Bath & Shower Products

Supports even dispersion of oils in bath gels, shower washes, and liquid soaps for improved appearance.

Hand Washes & Liquid Soaps

Improves clarity and fragrance distribution in transparent or lightly tinted hand wash formulations.

Hydrogenated Castor Oil for Skincare Formulations

This hydrogenated castor oil for skincare formulations assists with ingredient compatibility in serums, lotions, and lightweight emulsions at low usage levels, helping oils blend cleanly into leave-on skincare without leaving a heavy or greasy finish.
