Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Hydrogenated Castor Oil, also known as castor wax, is a hard, brittle, and high-melting-point wax derived by the hydrogenation of pure castor oil. This white to off-white, odorless substance is non-toxic and insoluble in water but dispersible in surfactant systems. Its primary component is hydrogenated ricinoleic acid triglyceride, and it is prized for its excellent lubricating, emulsifying, thickening, and consistency-enhancing properties.
Due to its stability, non-reactivity, and film-forming capability, Hydrogenated Castor Oil is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals, industrial lubricants, coatings, plastics, and more. It improves product texture, enhances emulsion stability, and provides moisture retention in skincare applications.

Polyglyceryl
Polyglyceryl refers to a family of non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers made by the polymerization of glycerol units. Depending on the number of glycerol units (e.g., Polyglyceryl-2, -3, -6, -10) and fatty acid esterification (e.g., laurate, oleate, stearate), they offer different emulsifying and solubilizing properties. These compounds are biodegradable, mild, and skin-friendly, making them ideal for use in cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. Polyglyceryl esters are often chosen in natural and organic product formulations due to their origin and non-toxic profile.
Sodium Acetate Trihydrate
Sodium Acetate Trihydrate is a white crystalline solid that is the hydrated form of sodium acetate. It is highly soluble in water and has a mildly alkaline pH in solution. Widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and textile industries, sodium acetate trihydrate serves as a buffering agent, pH regulator, and preservative. Its ability to stabilize pH and act as a neutralizing agent makes it valuable in various industrial and laboratory applications. Additionally, it is used for heat packs due to its exothermic crystallization properties.
