Emollient ingredient that is a mixture of synthetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) with natural castor oil. It’s considered safe for use in cosmetics. The weight and size of this ingredient is too large to penetrate beyond skin’s surface, but that’s fine—this type of emollient is needed on the surface to stop moisture loss and keep skin feeling soft.

Sold as a semi-solid or liquid raw material, this vegetable-based solubilizer is also used as a surfactant and cleanser in cosmetic preparations, and was designed for use as an emulsifier in aqueous formulations containing a large water phase. It has a yellow colour with a mild odour.

INCI: PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

Directions For Use: PEG 40 is suggested for use as the primary, if not sole, solubilizing agent or emulsifier in cosmetic applications such as sprays, serums, lotions and oil-free creams. It is added to oils in the oil phase for its stronger solubilizing qualities. It can be used at a rate of .01 to .05%.

What Is PEG-40 hydrogenated Castor Oil?
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a synthetic ingredient used in a variety of cosmetics and skincare products to help improve the texture and effectiveness of the formulation. The main functions of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil are as a surfactant, emulsifier, and emollient.

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a combination of synthetic polyethylene glycol Or PEG with natural castor oil. It is produced through a process called ethoxylation, a chemical reaction in which ethylene oxide is added to a substrate, in this case, castor oil. Castor oil is reacted with 40 units of ethylene oxide, hence the 40 in this ingredient’s name.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis. Castor oil contains a number of fatty acids which help to keep the skin healthy. The fatty acid chains present in castor oil are approximately 90% ricinoleic acid, with oleic and linoleic acid also being significant components. Castor oil is a colorless to very pale yellow liquid with a distinct taste and odor.

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is universally applicable in the beauty industry, especially in liquid soaps, lotions, body washes, shower gels, hair shampoos, facial cleansers, bubble baths, and decorative cosmetics.

What Are The Benefits Of PEG-40 hydrogenated Castor Oil?
In cosmetics and skincare products, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil functions as a surfactant, emulsifier, and emollient.

Surfactant
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a surfactant. Surfactants, like PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, work to lower the surface tension between two substances, this allows them to lift oils, dirt and grease from the skin so they can be rinsed away. This is possible because while one end of the surfactant molecule is attracted to water, the other end is attracted to oil. Due to these properties, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil can be found in many different cleansers and body washes.

Emulsifier.
As an emulsifier, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a useful ingredient for products that contain both water and oil components. When water and oil are mixed together they can often separate and split, causing the product to feel unpleasant and it can also reduce the effectiveness of the formulation on the skin.

An emulsifier like PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil can be added to help the droplets remain dispersed. This improves the consistency of a product, which enables an even distribution of skincare benefits.

Emollient
Lastly, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil functions as an emollient, which is why you can find it in many creams, lotions, and hair care products.

Emollients work to soften and soothe the skin or hair while also acting as occlusive agents. Upon application, occlusive agents form a protective film on the surface of skin, which helps to prevent evaporation of the skin’s natural moisture. Over time, this increases skin hydration by causing buildup of water in the top layers of the skin, giving you that dewy appearance.

Is PEG-40 hydrogenated Castor Oil Vegan?
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is considered to be a vegan ingredient. However PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil isostearate may or may not be vegan. It is easy to get the two confused. PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil isostearate is a PEG compound combining stearic acid and castor oil.
PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil is used in cosmetics as a solubiliser, emulsifier, surfactant and emollient. It is derived from Castor oil and is useful in producing products that disperse in water whilst offering good moisturising properties.

Characteristics of Peg 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is not seen as an irritant or sensitiser and has been shown to only cause minimal irritation in concentrations up to 100%. PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil allows oil and water to combine and it has a surfactant ability which acts as a cleansing agent, lifting dirt from the skin and hair. Peg 40 has the additional property of being an emollient.

How to use
Naturallythinking Peg 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is in a highly usable liquid form that makes Peg 40 so much easier to use, instead of having to heat up the ingredients, the Peg 40 can be used cold. Simply add at the desired level to your formulation and the Peg 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil will blend with agitation into your water / oil mix.

What Is It?
PEG-30 Castor Oil, PEG-33 Castor Oil, PEG-35 Castor Oil, PEG-36 Castor Oil and PEG-40 Castor Oil are polyethylene glycol derivatives of castor oil. PEG-30 Hydrogenated Castor Oil and PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil are polyethylene glycol derivatives of hydrogenated castor oil. PEG-36 Castor Oil is a light yellow and slightly viscous liquid with a mild fatty odor. PEG-40 Castor Oil is an amber-colored liquid. PEG Castor Oils and PEG Hydrogenated Castor Oils are used in the formulation of a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products.

Why is it used in cosmetics and personal care products?
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil and PEG Hydrogenated Castor Oils help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified. They also help other ingredients to dissolve in a solvent in which they would not normally dissolve.

Scientific Facts:
PEG Castor Oils and PEG Hydrogenated Castor Oils are produced from castor oil and hydrogenated castor oil, respectively. Castor oil is obtained by the cold pressing of seeds of the Ricinus communis plant followed by clarification of the oil by heat.

This hydrogenated and PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil comes in the form of a viscous, slightly scented liquid. It is used in cosmetics as an emulsifier, solubilizer or surfactant. The ingredient is produced, you might expect, from a PEG-40 (40 moles of ethylene oxide) and natural castor oil.
Studies show that this ingredient does not pose any real problems in itself, it is especially the manufacturing processes by ethoxylation which lead to possible impurities problematic for human health which are pointed out.

WHAT IS PEG 40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL?
PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the Polyethylene Glycol derivatives of Hydrogenated Castor Oil, and it functions as a surfactant, a solubilizer, an emulsifier, an emollient, a cleansing agent, and a fragrance ingredient when added to cosmetics or personal care product formulations. NDA’s PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a semi-solid ingredient.

HOW DOES PEG 40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL WORK?
PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is soluble in both water and oil and is traditionally used to emulsify and solubilize oil-in-water formulations. Its foam-enhancing properties make it ideal for use in liquid cleansers, and its soothing and softening emollient quality makes it a popular addition to formulations for moisturizers and hair care cosmetics. As a surfactant, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil helps to decrease the surface tension between multiple liquids or between liquids and solids. Furthermore, it helps to remove the grease from oils and causes them to become suspended in the liquid. This makes it easier for them to be washed away and lends this ingredient popularity in facial and body cleansers. As an occlusive agent, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil creates a protective hydrating layer on the skin’s surface, acting as a barrier against the loss of natural moisture.

PEG 40 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL SOLUBILITY
When adding PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil to cosmetics formulations, it can be blended in its cold state directly into the oil phase at a suggested ratio of 3:1 (PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil to oil). Next, this can be added to the water phase. If the formula is cloudy, the amount of PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil may be increased for enhanced transparency.

PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the polyethylene glycol derivatives of hydrogenated castor oil, and is an amber colored, slightly viscous liquid that has a naturally mildly fatty odor. It is used in cosmetics and beauty products as an emulsifier, surfactant, and fragrance ingredient, according to research.

Functions:

PEGs are not considered to be irritants or sensitizers, and are CIR and FDA approved for use, but not on broken skin. The CIR has found that PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is safe for use in concentrations of up to 100% without causing irritation, although it has been shown to increase the sensitization potential of other ingredients. It's molecular weight of 40 means that it is minimally absorbed by the skin.

Despite the many fears regarding PEGs, they are seen as an ingredient in a large number of products because of their diverse properties. In a study published in the Toxicology journal in 2005, entitled "Safety assessment on polyethylene glycols (PEGs) and their derivatives as used in cosmetic products," it was concluded that: "Taking into consideration all available information from related compounds, as well as the mode and mechanism of action, no safety concern with regard to these endpoints could be identified. Based on the available data it is therefore concluded that PEGs of a wide molecular weight range (200 to over 10,000), their ethers (laureths, ceteths, ceteareths, steareths, and oleths), and fatty acid esters (laurates, dilaurates, stearates, distearates) are safe for use in cosmetics."

Description: Nonionic, emulsifier (solvent) made of PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. Off-white / yellow liquid semi-solid. HLB-value 15 (provides oil-in-water emulsions). pH 5,5 - 7 (3% in water).

Use: Can be added to a formula for 1 to 10%. Can be used in liquid soaps, creams, lotions, shampoo, shower gels, bath oils, cosmetic colorants and fragrance solvents. Often used to solve essential oils in water.

PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative of castor oil that serves as a multifunctional emulsifier, surfactant, and foam booster. PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is obtained via cold pressing the seeds of the Rincinus communis plant followed by clarification of the oil by heat, which eliminates toxic enzymes and allows the oil to be used safely. PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a slightly viscous amber colored liquid. In some industries it may go by the name of PEG 2000, with 2000 indicating the average molecular weight.

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are a mixture of polymers combined with glycol to form a thick liquid. In cosmetics they function as emollients (which help soften and lubricate the skin), as emulsifiers (which help water-based and oil-based ingredients mix properly), and as a vehicle to deliver other ingredients deeper into the skin. The skin penetration effect depends upon both the specific product formulation and the overall health of the skin.

Products that contain PEG 40 Castor Oil typically include sunscreens, shampoos & conditioners, skin moisturizers and body washes. In some formulations PEG40 makes a good replacement for polysorbates used to incorporate fragrances and oils into water-based blends. Because it can act as a fragrance solubilizer and foam booster, PEG40 may eliminate or reduce the requirement for a secondary surfactant. PEG40 is non-ionic and compatible with non-ionic, anionic, and cationic ingredients.

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer for the preparation of cosmetic emulsions. It is used in the formulation of a wide variety of cosmetics and personal care products. It solubilizes perfume oils, essential oils and other hydrophobic substances. It helps to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified.
