Description

Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the hydrogenated (or hydrogen-saturated) form of castor oil, which serves as an emollient, thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and conditioner in cosmetics. Unlike regular castor oil, it has a solid or waxy texture, blends well with other oils, does not leave a greasy film, and makes the texture of products smoother. It is often used in lip balms, creams, pencils, deodorants, and hair conditioners. It also helps to evenly distribute pigments in decorative cosmetics.
