PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a non-ionic solubiliser and emulsifier derived from castor oil and ethylene oxide. This cosmetic-grade ingredient is widely used in personal care formulations to blend essential oils, fragrances, and other oil-based ingredients into water-based solutions. Known for its gentle, skin-friendly properties, it enhances product texture and improves the solubility of actives without compromising formulation stability. Suitable for all skin types.

Benefits:

1. Acts as an effective emulsifier and solubilize
2. Ideal for water-based cosmetic formulations
3. Enhances product stability and clarity
4. Gentle and non-irritating on the skin
5. Easily blends oils into aqueous systems

How to Use:

• Solubilize: Mix PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil with essential/fragrance oils in a 1:1 to 1:5 ratio, depending on formulation requirements. Then add this blend to your water base.
• Emulsifier: Use it as part of the oil phase in emulsions. Typical usage level is 1%–10%, depending on formulation needs.
