PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (CAS: 61788-85-0) is a non-ionic solubilizer and emulsifier produced by ethoxylating hydrogenated castor oil with forty ethylene oxide units. This pale paste or liquid excels at solubilizing hydrophobic actives, essential oils, and fragrances into clear aqueous systems, making it indispensable in transparent personal care products. It forms stable oil-in-water emulsions in creams and lotions while maintaining mildness suitable for sensitive skin formulations. The pharmaceutical industry employs it to solubilize lipophilic drugs in oral solutions and injectable formulations, and it serves as an emulsifier in lipid emulsions. Additional applications include agrochemical emulsifiable concentrates and industrial solubilization of hydrophobic additives. With its high ethoxylate content, low irritation potential, and excellent solubilizing power, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a premium functional ingredient for clarity-critical formulations.
