Information

Cetyl Ricinoleate is an emollient ester derived from the combination of cetyl alcohol and ricinoleic acid, the latter of which is the primary fatty acid found in castor oil. This ingredient is used in skincare for its ability to provide smooth, non-greasy moisture, contributing to the texture and feel of various formulations.

Where does it come from?

Cetyl Ricinoleate is derived from natural sources, primarily castor oil, which is obtained from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. The castor oil is processed to extract ricinoleic acid, which is then combined with cetyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol typically sourced from coconut or palm oil, to produce this versatile emollient.

What are the benefits?

MOISTURIZING PROTECTING PORE-CLEARING

What are the benefits?

  • Moisturizing: Provides long-lasting hydration without leaving a greasy residue, while keeping the skin soft and supple looking.
  • Texture: Contributes to the sensory experience of skincare products by creating a silky, smooth feel.
  • Skin Barrier: Serves to protect the skin's natural barrier, as it locks in moisture and protects from environmental factors.
  • Non-Comedogenic: Suitable for use on all skin types, including oily skin, as it does not clog pores.
  • Stabilizing Agent: Serves to stabilize formulations, ensuring consistency and efficacy over time.

How is it used in our products?

Cetyl Ricinoleate is used in F10 Olive Core Face Peeling , B20 Softening Foot Balm , B52 Grapefruit Rose Body Balm , and B54 Cinnamon Ginger Body Balm from OLIVEDA. Included for its ability to provide smooth, lasting hydration while contributing to the texture and application of the product. It targets the appearance of irritated or sensitive skin and reinforces the skin's barrier to lock in moisture and protect against external factors. Additionally, its non-greasy finish makes it a popular choice for products aimed at those with oily or combination skin, offering optimal hydration without contributing to shine or clogging pores.
