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.

Texture & Skin Feel
When incorporated into your formulation, Eumulgin® melts into a soft, buttery film that glides effortlessly across the skin.

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.
