PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a ingredient that is widely used in the cosmetic industry and is soluble in both water and oil.

Functions as an emollient, emulsifier, solubilizer, surfactant, and cleansing agent. The number of benefits that it offers makes hydrogenated castor oil a popular addition to products like moisturizers, cleansers, shampoos and conditioners.

It is a great emollient and is added to skin care products in order to impart smoothness and softness to the skin.

It also mixes oil and water together to rinse off the hair easily and leave them clean.

It acts as a surfactant to decrease the surface tension of the formulation and stabilize the product. It also improves the texture and feel of the products and enables their even distribution
