PEG-35 Castor Oil
What PEG-35 Castor Oil is & what it does
PEG-35 Castor Oil is castor oil reacted with about 35 units of ethylene oxide, producing a nonionic surfactant and solubilizer. In formulas it is commonly used to dissolve oils, fragrances, and oil-soluble actives into water-based products and to stabilize emulsions. It is widely used in clear gels, micellar-style cleansers, and serums where clarity matters. It is generally well tolerated, and is a common, reliable solubilizing aid in cosmetic manufacturing.
