HYDROGENATED CASTOR (OLIWAX)

Hydrogenated Castor Oil Wax (also known as castor wax) is a hard, brittle, vegetable-derived wax produced by the controlled hydrogenation of pure liquid castor oil extracted from castor beans. This process saturates the oil, increasing its chemical stability, resistance to oxidation, and raising its melting point so that it remains a solid at room temperature. BENEFITS: Texture & Viscosity Modifier: Acts as an effective thickener and hardening agent, giving structure and stability to sticks and balms. Moisture Retention: Functions as an emollient and occlusive barrier that seals in hydration and reduces trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Thermal Stability: Boasts a high melting point (80°C–90°C), preventing cosmetic products from melting or bleeding in warm climates. Water Resistance: Naturally repels moisture, making it excellent for long-wear makeup and protective skin barriers. Safety: It is completely non-toxic, non-irritating, and biodegradable INCI name: Castor wax CAS number: 8001-78-3 Application: Cosmetic Appearance: White flakes Solubility: Insoluble in water. Soluble in oil and in hot organic solvents Usage rate: 0.1% and 10.0% pH range: 3.0 to 9.0 Origin: India When you think of quality raw materials for your cosmetic production, then think Primeside.
