Information

Hydrogenated castor oil is a derivative of castor oil that has undergone a process that adds hydrogen to castor oil, which transforms its liquid form into a more solid or waxy consistency. 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.

What are the benefits?

PURIFYING SOFTENING PROTECTING

What are the benefits?

  • Emollient Properties: Provides a smooth, soft feel to the skin and can moisturize and soften.
  • Stabilizer and Thickening Agent: Adds thickness to formulations and can stabilize emulsions, ensuring that the product maintains its consistency over time.
  • Film-Forming: Creates a protective layer on the skin that locks in moisture.
  • Non-Comedogenic: Generally considered non-comedogenic, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores, making it suitable for most skin types.

How is it used in our products?

Hydrogenated castor oil is used in F65 Corrective Midnight Elixir from OLIVEDA and in 004 Dope Your Wrinkles Face Oil Serum from LA DOPE. It is included for its emollient and thickening properties as it contributes to texture and stability, providing a smooth, luxurious feel to the product. It has the ability to form a protective barrier, while its non-comedogenic nature ensures it is also ideal for sensitive and oily skin.
