Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer (Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer)

Hydrogenated Castor Oil/Sebacic Acid Copolymer is a plant-derived polymeric structuring agent formed by combining hydrogenated castor oil components with sebacic acid, designed to deliver viscosity building, gelation, and texture control in oil-based systems. It is valued for creating stable, elegant oleogels that provide a smooth, non-tacky glide while improving payoff, cushion, and overall sensorial richness. In cosmetic formulations, it can help thicken and structure anhydrous phases, support pigment suspension, reduce oiliness, and enhance wear and stability—particularly in color cosmetics and stick formats. Typical applications include lipsticks, lip glosses and balms, foundations and concealers, sunscreens, pomades, hair styling products, and balm-like treatments where controlled flow, firmness, and a refined “soft-solid” feel are desired. Use level is formulation-dependent and is optimized alongside complementary oils, waxes, and emollients to achieve the target hardness, spread, and thermal stability.
