PEG-54 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL
Safety grade: A
This ingredient is a processed form of castor oil that has been chemically modified to help mix oil and water together in cosmetic products. It comes from castor beans but undergoes chemical treatment to change its properties.
It acts as an emulsifier and surfactant to blend ingredients that normally don't mix well, helping create smooth, uniform products while making them easier to spread on skin.
