Characteristics of PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a synthetic, non-ionic substance derived from natural castor oil. It's made through a process called ethoxylation, where 40 units of polyethylene glycol (PEG) are added to hydrogenated castor oil. This process transforms the oil into a versatile, multifunctional ingredient commonly used in personal care products.

Found in a wide variety of cosmetic and personal care products, including:
