Overview of Cetyl Ricinoleate
Cetyl Ricinoleate is a fatty acid ester derived from castor oil, widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations as an emollient, moisturiser, and texture enhancer. It appears as a pale yellow to clear liquid and is valued for its excellent skin-feel properties and compatibility with various formulation types.
In cosmetic and personal care products, Cetyl Ricinoleate is commonly used in creams, lotions, lip balms, hair serums, and massage oils to improve smoothness, spreadability, and overall sensory experience. It blends effectively with ingredients like Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetearyl Alcohol, and Jojoba Oil to create rich, stable, and skin-friendly formulations.
