Overview of Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a non-ionic surfactant and solubiliser made by reacting hydrogenated castor oil with ethylene oxide. It is widely used in cosmetic, personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations to help dissolve oils, fragrances, and active ingredients into water-based systems.

This ingredient is valued for its excellent solubilising, emulsifying, and stabilising properties, especially in clear formulations. It helps improve product appearance, stability, and performance without affecting skin mildness.

Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil is usually supplied as a viscous liquid or semi-solid paste. It is commonly used along with Polysorbates (Tween series), PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, and Coco Glucoside to achieve better clarity and stability in formulations.

 

Application of Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Cosmetic & Personal Care Products

Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil is widely used in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, face cleansers, and liquid soaps. It helps solubilise fragrances, essential oils, and conditioning agents evenly throughout the product.

 

Perfumes & Fragrance Formulations

In perfumes, deodorants, and body sprays, it acts as a solubiliser that allows fragrance oils to mix clearly with water or alcohol-based systems, preventing cloudiness or separation.

 

Pharmaceutical & Oral Care Products

It is used in oral liquids, syrups, mouthwashes, and topical formulations where stable oil-in-water emulsions are required.

 

Industrial & Speciality Applications

Ethoxylated Hydrogenated Castor Oil is also applied in industrial emulsions, textile processing, and speciality chemical formulations where mild, non-ionic emulsification is needed.

 

Safety and Handling Guidelines

  • Store in a cool and dry place

  • Keep containers tightly closed

  • Avoid prolonged contact with the eyes

  • Use gloves when handling in bulk

  • Follow recommended formulation levels
