Hydrogenated castor oil is also known as castor wax and is used in various personal care products for its emollient and stabilizing properties.
Where does it come from?
Hydrogenated castor oil is derived from castor oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). The castor plant is native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia but is cultivated worldwide. The hydrogenation process makes it more stable for use in a wide range of cosmetic formulations.

Stabilizer and Thickening Agent: Adds thickness to formulations and can stabilize emulsions, ensuring that the product maintains its consistency over time.
