Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HEL-40), widely recognized by its INCI designation PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, is a high-performance non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. I…
Exceptional Solubilizing Power: Efficiently incorporates essential oils, fragrances, and lipophilic actives into water-based systems, maintaining perfect clarity.
High Oxidative Stability: The hydrogenated backbone resists oxidation, preventing color changes and unpleasant odors in the final product.
Dermatological Mildness: Low irritation potential makes it ideal for sensitive skin, oral care, and mucous membrane applications.
Non-Ionic Nature: Exhibits excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other non-ionic surfactants, as well as high concentrations of electrolytes.
Emollient Properties: Acts as a superfatting agent, leaving a smooth, non-greasy film on the skin and hair.
Texture Enhancement: Improves the viscosity and sensory profile of liquid formulations.
