Description
Our Castor Wax Flakes, also known as hydrogenated castor oil, are a versatile, plant-derived ingredient crafted from castor beans through a hydrogenation process. This process enhances the oil’s stability, raises its melting point, and creates a solid, waxy texture ideal for a wide range of applications. Renowned for its thickening, stabilizing, and emollient properties, castor wax is a must-have for formulators in cosmetics, personal care, and industrial products.
Key Features and Benefits
Moisturizing and Emollient: Forms a protective, hydrating barrier on the skin to lock in moisture, perfect for soothing dry lips, reducing puffiness, and promoting overall skin health.
Thickening and Stabilizing: Enhances viscosity and provides a smooth, glossy finish to formulations, ensuring product consistency and longevity.
Antioxidant and Antibacterial: Contains antioxidants to combat free radicals, helping to prevent wrinkles, and offers antibacterial properties to support acne-prone skin.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for cosmetics, candles, polishes, and industrial uses due to its glossy, protective, and lubricating qualities.
Common Uses:
Cosmetics and Skincare: Elevates lip balms, lipsticks, creams, and lotions with its creamy texture and moisturizing benefits. Ideal for thickening and stabilizing skincare formulations.
Haircare: Adds body to conditioners and styling products, providing a smooth, manageable finish.
Bar Soaps: Enhances the hardness of cold and hot process soaps, creating a firmer, longer-lasting bar.
Balms and Salves: Blends seamlessly with vegetable oils, essential oils, and beeswax to craft nourishing skin balms.
Candles: Improves candle hardness and enhances fragrance throw when blended with waxes like soy or beeswax.
Polishes and Coatings: Delivers a glossy, protective finish for furniture polishes, shoe polishes, and other coatings.
Industrial Applications: Provides viscosity, moisture resistance, and lubrication for adhesives, lubricants, and plastics.
Our Castor Wax Flakes are a natural, high-performance ingredient that brings consistency, quality, and versatility to your creations, whether you're crafting luxurious personal care products or innovative industrial solutions.
Note: While often referred to as castor wax, this product is distinct from other castor oil derivatives, such as dehydrated castor oil, due to its unique hydrogenation process.
