• Product Features
• Emollient：Molecular properties allow it to effectively moisturize skin’s surface.The weight and size of this ingredient is too large to penetrate beyond skin’s surface, this type of emollient is needed on the surface to minimize moisture loss and impart a soft feel.
• Solubility-enhancing: It helps other ingredients solubilize in a formula which improves both aesthetics and performance. Essentially, it meshes water and oil substances, as well as allows other ingredients to dissolve cohesively for a pleasing result.
• Non-sensitizing and safe : PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil is considered non-sensitizing and safe for use in cosmetics with identified concentrations ranging from 0.00007% to 22% (according to a 2015 report). Safety assessments have shown that even higher concentrations are non-irritating.
