Full Description

PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil (CAS 61788-85-0) is a nonionic surfactant produced by ethoxylating hydrogenated castor oil with about 25 moles of ethylene oxide. It is used as an emulsifier, solubilizer and surfactant in cosmetic and personal-care formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil the same as castor oil?

No. PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil (CAS 61788-85-0) is made by hydrogenating castor oil and then ethoxylating it with about 25 moles of ethylene oxide, producing a nonionic surfactant. The PEG and hydrogenation steps make it function as an emulsifier and solubilizer rather than as a simple plant oil.

What is another name for hydrogenated castor oil?

Hydrogenated castor oil is also known as castor wax. The PEG-25 ethoxylated derivative is named PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil (also written as PEG-25 castor oil derivative); CAS 61788-85-0.

What is PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil used for?

It is used as a solubilizer for fragrances, oils and lipophilic actives, as an oil-in-water emulsifier in personal-care formulations, and as a general nonionic surface-active agent.

How is bulk PEG-25 hydrogenated castor oil packaged?

RawSource supplies it in bulk industrial packaging such as drums and totes (CAS 61788-85-0, HS 3402.42). CoA and SDS are provided per lot; contact RawSource with your volume and destination for available pack sizes.
