Castor Wax Flakes

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.
