PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil

A castor-oil-derived solubilizer that lets oils and fragrance dissolve into water-based formulas.

What it does

PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil is a non-ionic solubilizer made from hydrogenated castor oil. It lets small amounts of oil, fragrance, or other oil-loving ingredients dissolve clearly into water-based products such as toners and micellar waters. It is a solubilizing ingredient rather than a skin active.
