PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a synthetic ingredient used in cosmetics and skincare products to improve texture and effectiveness. It functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and emollient. It is derived from castor oil, which contains fatty acids that benefit the skin. PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is commonly found in liquid soaps, lotions, body washes, shower gels, hair shampoos, facial cleansers, bubble baths, and decorative cosmetics.
Surfactant: PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil helps lift oils, dirt, and grease from the skin, enabling effective cleansing. Emulsifier: It helps blend water and oil-based ingredients, creating stable emulsions. Emollient: It softens and soothes the skin, reducing dryness and flakiness. Occlusive Agent: It forms a protective film on the skin, preventing moisture loss and increasing hydration.
