TEA-PEG-50 HYDROGENATED CASTOR OIL SUCCINATE

Description

TEA-PEG-50 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Succinate is a multifunctional ingredient widely used in skincare and haircare formulations. This water-soluble compound is derived from castor oil and modified through chemical processes to enhance its performance in various cosmetic applications.

As an emulsifier and surfactant, TEA-PEG-50 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Succinate helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, allowing for the seamless blending of oil-based and water-based components in skincare products. It also acts as a mild cleansing agent, effectively removing dirt and excess sebum without overly stripping the skin's natural oils.

In haircare formulations, this ingredient functions as a conditioning agent, improving hair manageability and reducing static electricity. It can also enhance the spreadability of products, ensuring even distribution of active ingredients throughout the hair shaft.

TEA-PEG-50 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Succinate is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is particularly useful in formulations designed for sensitive skin. Its ability to solubilize essential oils and fragrances makes it valuable in creating stable, homogeneous products with extended shelf life.
