Overview of Cremophor RH-40

 

Cremophor RH-40 is a non-ionic solubilizer and emulsifying agent widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is derived from hydrogenated castor oil and ethylene oxide, making it highly effective in solubilizing oils, fragrances, and lipophilic active ingredients in water-based systems.

In cosmetic formulations, Cremophor RH-40 is valued for its ability to create clear, stable solutions and improve the dispersion of difficult-to-dissolve ingredients. It is commonly used in serums, lotions, shampoos, facial cleansers, perfumes, and pharmaceutical solutions where transparency and stability are important.

Cremophor RH-40 also enhances product performance by improving ingredient compatibility and formulation clarity. In gel and emulsion systems, it works effectively with stabilizing agents such as Carbomer 940 and Carbopol Polymer, helping improve viscosity control, texture, and long-term stability.

At ChemicalBull Pvt. Ltd., we supply high-quality Cremophor RH-40 in bulk with consistent purity and reliable performance for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturers worldwide.
