Eumulgin® (Hydrogenated Castor Oil) – 500g

Eumulgin® (Hydrogenated Castor Oil) – 500g

A Smooth, Plant-Based Alternative to Petroleum Jelly

Eumulgin® (Hydrogenated Castor Oil) is a versatile, plant-derived ingredient widely used in cosmetic formulations for its silky glide, stable texture, and powerful moisture-locking abilities. Because it offers the same comforting occlusive feel as petroleum jelly—without any petrolatum—it has become a favourite for formulators who want a cleaner, more natural-leaning alternative. It creates rich balms, glossy salves, conditioning sticks, and smooth emulsions that hold their shape beautifully while still melting softly on contact with the skin.

Key Benefits

• Provides an excellent natural-compatible replacement for petroleum jelly

• Forms a breathable, protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss

• Offers a smooth, balm-like finish with non-greasy softness

• Stabilises oil-based and emulsified systems

• Enhances spreadability and cushion in creams, balms, and butters

• Supports shine and slip in lip care and body gloss products

Texture & Skin Feel

When incorporated into your formulation, Eumulgin® melts into a soft, buttery film that glides effortlessly across the skin. It delivers a comforting occlusive layer that feels protective yet elegant, making it ideal for dry-skin products, winter care items, and soothing repair treatments. Because it comes from hydrogenated castor oil, the finished texture is plant-based, smooth, and clean in sensory profile.

Uses in Formulation

• Lip balms, glosses, and lip conditioners

• Body balms, massage bars, and healing salves

• Hand creams and foot care products

• Baby-safe balms and gentle skin protectants

• Cosmetic sticks and solid fragrances

• Rich winter moisturisers and barrier creams

Why Formulators Love It

Eumulgin® works exceptionally well whenever you need a stable, firm, and glossy base that behaves like petroleum jelly but aligns with modern, plant-forward expectations. It helps products maintain structure while still offering a luxurious glide. Additionally, its compatibility with oils, butters, and waxes makes it easy to blend into a wide range of formulations without difficulty. Because it supports a breathable barrier, it helps skin stay moisturised for longer, contributing to a more supple, nourished feel.
