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.   Natural wax jelly – Alternative to white petroleum jelly 500g Hydrogenated castor oil 2 Teaspoons carnaba wax 2 Tablespoons Beeswax beads (white) 1 Tablespooncastor oil In a pot over the stove, melt all the ingredients together over a low heat.
