Description
Castor Jelly - Hydrogenated Castor Oil
Castor Jelly is the natural alternative to petroleum jelly, acting as a direct replacement for it in any personal care formulation.
Castor Jelly is often added to improve cosmetic products, acting as an emollient and a thickener, increasing the viscosity of creams, ointments, and lotions when their composition is too runny.
It also stabilizes cosmetics that come in stick-form (like lipstick) and increases these products’ melting points, making for a more stable product. It helps products like lipstick and deodorant keep their shape and not melt or crumble apart.
In addition, it is commonly used in cosmetics for its ability to help form emulsions by reducing surface tension of the substances that are to be emulsified. It also help other ingredients dissolve in solvents where they would otherwise not normally dissolve. Castor Jelly has a role in the production of acne products, deodorant sticks, anti-dandruff shampoos and other types of skin care products.

Keep It Sealed

Consider Adding an Antioxidant
As a hydrogenated oil, it can still go rancid over time once opened. If you're not using it up quickly, adding a small amount of Vitamin E can help extend usable life.
Use Clean Tools
