About this ingredient

PEG-7 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a polyethylene glycol derivative of hydrogenated castor oil that functions primarily as a solubilizer and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations. It enables the dissolution of oils, fragrances, and other lipophilic components into water-based systems, improving formula stability, clarity, and texture. It also provides mild skin conditioning and emollient properties.
