Eumulgin CO 40 is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in cosmetic and personal care products. It is derived from castor oil ( nonvolatile fatty oil obtained from the seeds of the castor bean, Ricinus communis, of the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) ) and is primarily composed of PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil. The main functions and characteristics of Emulgin CO 40 include:
Due to these properties, Emulgin CO 40 is widely used in products like shampoos, conditioners, facial cleansers, creams and lotions .
Please do carry out your own testing to make sure your products are suitable for the product you are using them for. The Onus is is on you to make sure your products are safe to use.
But what is a surfactant?
Surfactants are substances that have surface activity, which means that, even at low concentrations, this substance has the effect of adsorbing on its surface.
Adsorption causes a significant change in free energies at surfaces and interfaces, due to which it is possible that other substances can penetrate any object and then be effectively cleaned. In relation to water, the molecule has a heteropolar character (different polarities) due to the molecular structure, with a polar part (hydrophilic) and another non-polar part (hydrophobic) .
The hydrophilic part is soluble in water and is generally formed by acidic or basic groups, which are responsible for the solubility of the surfactant in water. The hydrophobic part is insoluble in water and soluble in oils.
Surfactants have different polarities when in wet solution, which is why they are classified as:
Each group has its importance within the production of a healthy product, Eumulgin for example, belongs to the non-ionic group.
It is very common to see more than one type of surfactant in a product, as each one has a different role in the cleaning process.
