Detail

Hydrogenated Castor Oil, also known as castor wax, is a hardened vegetable wax produced from pure castor oil through the chemical process of hydrogenation. When hydrogen is introduced to pure castor oil in the presence of a nickel catalyst, the resulting product becomes waxy, highly viscous, and more saturated.
Hydrogenated Castor Oil is an ingredient prevalently found in many cosmetics, varnishes, and polishes. You most likely use it on a daily basis. Unlike pure castor oil, which is said to have a slightly offensive smell, it is completely odorless. Hydrogenated castor oil is also insoluble in water.
Cinnamon Oleoresin is widely used in products as follows: fragrance & flavor, meat product, instant noodle , seasoning, baking food, candy, and etc for its special flavor.
Because it is easy to measure, and incredibly consistent, which means that each batch a company produces will be of the same high quality as the one before it and the one after, leading to fewer potential losses in the manufacturing process.


Application Area:
The purpose of the hydrogenation process is to improve castor oil’s melting point, texture, odor, and shelf-life.
Once hydrogenated, the resulting castor oil product is comprised of hard, brittle flakes. Hydrogenated castor oil is considered an organic ingredient, as well as a vegan one, as it is vegetable-derived.
One application of hydrogenated castor oil is to improve certain cosmetic products. You can add the flakes to cosmetic formulations until thoroughly melted. In this capacity, hydrogenated castor oil acts as an emollient and a thickener; increasing the viscosity of creams, ointments, and lotions when their composition is too runny.
Hydrogenated castor oil also stabilizes cosmetics that come in stick-form (like lipstick) and increases these products’ melting points, making for a more stable product. In part thanks to hydrogenated castor oil, it’s not the end of the world if we leave a tube of red lipstick in a hot car!
Hydrogenated castor oil means our lipsticks maintain a solid structure even when they’re pushed to the limit, and our deodorant doesn’t crumble as we apply it.
