Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Other names: Castor oil hydrogenated, Opal wax
Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)
Hydrogenated castor oil, also known as "opal wax", is the result of a chemical reaction known as hydrogenation, in which hydrogen molecules combine with castor oil molecules. This process transforms liquid castor oil into a solid wax that has a variety of uses in the cosmetics and lubricants industries.
It is an important ingredient in many products, especially in cosmetics and body care. Its highly hydrophobic properties allow it to be used as a base for many makeup and eye products, where it helps to hold the applied product on the skin and prevent it from running off. Opal wax is also commonly used in lip balms and hand creams for its ability to moisturize and maintain hydration. In the lubricant industry, this wax is valued for its exceptional lubricating properties and is often used in water insoluble lubricants.
