Hydrogenated Castor Oil Dimer Dilinoleate (Hydrogenated Castor Oil Dimer Dilinoleate)

Hydrogenated Castor Oil Dimer Dilinoleate is a plant-derived, high-slip emollient and texture enhancer created by combining hydrogenated castor oil derivatives with dimerized fatty acid components, resulting in a viscous, cushiony lipid with excellent spread and adhesion. In cosmetic formulations, it is valued for delivering long-lasting emolliency, gloss, and a protective, film-forming feel that helps reduce the perception of dryness without excessive greasiness. It can improve payoff and comfort, enhance pigment wetting and dispersion, and contribute to wear and transfer resistance—making it especially useful in lip and color cosmetics. Typical applications include lipsticks, lip glosses, lip balms, foundations, concealers, creams, sunscreens, and balm-like treatments where a rich yet elegant sensory profile is desired. Use level is formulation-dependent and is commonly optimized alongside other oils, esters, and waxes to achieve the target shine, cushion, and overall formulation stability.
