FAQ

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil — Frequently Asked Questions

What is PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil?

PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a nonionic surfactant made by ethoxylating hydrogenated castor oil with about 60 moles of ethylene oxide. It is a water-soluble emulsifier and solubilizer widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations.

What is PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil used for?

It is mainly used to solubilize fragrances, essential oils, and oil-soluble actives into clear, water-based formulations — such as micellar waters, face mists, toners, mouthwashes, shampoos, and perfumes. It also stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions in creams and lotions.

Why is it called a solubilizer?

Its high ethoxylation gives a high HLB value, so it can carry small amounts of oil into water and keep the mixture clear instead of cloudy or separated. This makes it the go-to ingredient for transparent, oil-containing aqueous products.

How is PEG-60 different from PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil?

Both are ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oils; the number (40 or 60) refers to the moles of ethylene oxide added. PEG-60 has a higher ethoxylation level and HLB, often giving stronger solubilizing power and a different feel — the right choice depends on your formulation and the oils being solubilized.

Why use hydrogenated (rather than regular) castor oil ethoxylate?

Ethoxylates made from hydrogenated castor oil are more thermally stable and oxidation-resistant than those from regular castor oil, because the unsaturated bonds have been removed. This makes PEG-60 HCO well suited to applications needing better stability and a more neutral odour profile.

Is PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil suitable for cosmetic and personal care use?

Yes — it is a common cosmetic ingredient used as an emulsifier and solubilizer, and is generally regarded as mild and well tolerated. For cosmetic use, a cosmetic-grade product and compliance with your target market's regulations should be confirmed; supporting documentation can be provided.

Can I get a sample, and what are the MOQ, packaging, and export options?

Yes — samples are available with a Certificate of Analysis per batch. PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is supplied in HDPE/MS drums and IBCs, with custom packing on request. MOQ typically starts from 1 MT (Metric Ton), dispatched through Mundra Port, Gujarat, India with full export documentation.

How is batch-to-batch quality maintained?

Each batch is checked for appearance, HLB, pH, and key parameters, with traceability and a Certificate of Analysis per consignment. Controlled ethoxylation and testing keep solubilizing performance consistent across shipments.

Why source PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil from The Patel Brothers?
