Hydrogenated Castor Oil Dimer Dilinoleate, also known as HGL, is an ingredient that has significant applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is a yellowish to dark brown oil with a distinctive smell that is obtained by hydrogenation of castor oil. Its main use is in cosmetic products for skin and hair, mainly in solutions, emulsions, non-greasy creams and skin tonics or as an ingredient in lip balms.

HGL is popular in cosmetics for its moisturizing and emollient properties. It is widely recognized for its high-quality emollient properties, which means that it is able to soften and moisturize the skin by forming a protective barrier that prevents moisture loss. It also serves as a preservative and stabilising ingredient in cosmetic products. In the pharmaceutical industry it is used in bath liquids, as a base for ointments, as a lubricant in tablets or as a binder in coated tablets.
