EC Number: 500-151-7

PEG-36 Castor Oil is polyethylene glycol derivatives of castor oil.
PEG-36 Castor Oil (Cremophor EL 36) is a light yellow and slightly viscous liquid with a mild fatty odor.
PEG-36 castor oil is a polyethylene glycol derivative of Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil with an average of 36 moles of ethylene oxide.

PEG-36 Castor Oil is a light yellow and slightly viscous liquid with a mild fatty odor.
PEG-36 Castor Oil acts as an emulsifier, solubilizer, emollient, dispersing agent and humectant.
PEG-36 Castor Oil is a non-ionic surfactant, whose hydrophobic portion comes from castor oil and the hydrophilic portion, from the ethylene oxide chain.

PEG-36 Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol derivative of Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil with an average of 36 moles of ethylene oxide.
PEG-36 Castor Oil is a mixture of the etherification and esterification products of castor oil glycerides and fatty acids from castor oil, with thirty-six equivalents of ethylene oxide.

PEG-36 castor oil (INCI) is a polyethylene glycol derivative based on castor oil that is used in cosmetic preparations.
The number 36 after "PEG-" indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-O-.
"PEG" refers to a PEG (polyethylene glycol) derivative.
The number after "PEG-" (or the first number after "PEG/...-") indicates the average number of molecular units -CH2-CH2-O-.
Ingredient based on castor oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil).

Surfactants are so-called washing-active substances and are of great importance in cosmetics for cleaning the skin and hair. Surfactants (from the Latin "tensus" = tense) are substances that, thanks to their molecular structure, are able to reduce the surface tension of a liquid. In this way, two liquids that are actually not miscible, such as oil and water, can be finely mixed.

USES and APPLICATIONS of PEG-36 CASTOR OIL:
-Cosmetic Uses:
*Surfactant: Reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and contributes to the even distribution of the product during use.
*Emulsifying: Promotes the formation of intimate mixtures between immiscible liquids by modifying the interfacial tension (water and oil)

-Function: emulsifying surfactant/detergent
-Crop protection.
-Organic intermediates.

-PEG-36 Castor Oil help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
PEG-36 Castor Oil also help other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve.
PEG-36 Castor Oil is produced from castor oil and hydrogenated castor oil, respectively.
PEG-36 Castor Oil is obtained by the cold pressing of seeds of the Ricinus communis plant followed by clarification of the oil by heat.

-PEG-36 Castor Oil is used in formulations of creams, lotions, masks, bases and sun protection products.
-PEG-36 castor oil acts as an emulsifier and surfactant .
-Allows the formation of finely divided mixtures of oil and water (emulsions)

-Surfactants are so-called washing-active substances and are of great importance in cosmetics for cleaning the skin and hair. Surfactants (from the Latin "tensus" = tense) are substances that, thanks to their molecular structure, are able to reduce the surface tension of a liquid.
In this way, two liquids that are actually not miscible, such as oil and water, can be finely mixed.
Because of their properties, PEG-36 castor oil, surfactants are used in many different ways in cosmetics: They can clean, create foam, and also act as emulsifiers and mix substances with one another.

-In shampoos, shower gels and soaps, for example, PEG-36 castor oil, surfactants are used to wash away fat and dirt particles from the body with water.
-Detergent substance for cleaning skin, hair and/or teeth
-Facial, shaving and hair lotions, as solvents and solubilizers for active ingredients, perfume oils and dyes, as humectants, bases for creams, as consistency enhancers, binders, softeners and fixatives.

-PEG-36 castor oil, Surfactants are also used in toothpaste.
-PEG-36 castor oil is used in cosmetic products are mainly produced synthetically on the basis of plant-based raw materials.
-PEG-36 castor oil is often used in combination in order to meet all desired requirements - such as dirt removal and foam formation combined with good skin compatibility - in the best possible way.

-A skilful combination of a tenside with unfavorable skin compatibility, but very good dirt-dissolving properties, and a very mild, skin-friendly tenside - viewed on PEG-36 castor oil's own - results in a product with good cleaning properties and equally good skin compatibility.

-PEG-36 castor oil is used as consistency factors in lipsticks and creams and as humectants.
PEG-36 castor oil is well tolerated by the skin and are not microbiologically susceptible, so that the addition of preservatives can generally be dispensed with.
