HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL PEG-8 ESTERS
Safety grade: A
This ingredient is a modified form of castor oil that has been chemically processed to make it water-soluble and easier to blend into cosmetic formulas. It comes from castor beans but undergoes significant laboratory treatment to change its properties.
It softens and moisturizes the skin while helping to control the thickness and texture of cosmetic products so they have the right consistency.
