Hydrogenated Castor Oil
A Versatile Emollient for Smooth, Stable Formulations
Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a modified form of castor oil where unsaturated fatty acids are saturated through hydrogenation, resulting in a waxy, stable, and non-greasy ingredient ideal for a wide range of skincare products. It retains many of the moisturising benefits of natural castor oil but with improved texture and shelf stability.
This ingredient acts as an effective emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin while forming a light protective barrier that locks in moisture. It also serves as a thickener, stabilizer, and solubilizer—often used in balms, creams, cleansing products, and emulsions.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive, and is a popular choice in both clean beauty and conventional formulations for its performance and versatility.
