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.
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is used in cosmetics and beauty products as an emulsifier, surfactant, and fragrance ingredient, according to research.
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.
PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil'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.
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.

Also, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is used as an emulsifier and a surfactant.
PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil is used in cosmetics as a solubiliser, emulsifier, surfactant and emollient.
Additionally, PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil is derived from Castor oil and is useful in producing products that disperse in water whilst offering good moisturising properties.
•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.

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.
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil 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 PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil’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.
PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is a combination of polyethylene glycol and hydrogenated castor oil.

PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is used in many cosmetic products.
A combination of both PEG-40 and castor oil makes it contain the benefits of both the molecules in a single molecule.
PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative of castor oil that serves as a multifunctional emulsifier, surfactant, and foam booster. 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.
PEGs produce little or no irritation on healthy skin but should be avoided on broken or damaged skin.
Products that contain PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil typically include sunscreens, shampoos & conditioners, skin moisturizers and body washes.

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.
