Castor Wax Flakes is commonly referred to as hydrogenated castor oil. Castor Wax Flakes (Vegetable) are a derivative of Castor Oil. They are produced through the chemical combination of hydrogen and pure castor oil. This vegetable wax comes in a white flake form and has a melting point of 85-88 degrees Celsius. Castor wax flakes can be heated beyond this range to create a liquid and the material will re-harden once the temperature cools. It is an odorless wax-like substance that is insoluble in water.

Castor wax flakes are used in a variety of cosmetic and industrial applications. They can be used effectively as a thickening agent for lotions and creams and are commonly found in a wide range of cosmetic products such as lip balms, body creams, hair care products, eye makeup and face foundations.
