About

Methyl Ricinoleate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Methyl ricinoleate is the methyl ester of ricinoleic acid, a major component of castor oil (Ricinus communis). It functions as a skin conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetic products. The parent acid ricinoleic acid has a well-characterised safety profile, and methyl ricinoleate is not listed in EU Annex restrictions. It is of low concern at cosmetic-use levels.

Skin benefits

  • Excellent emollient properties for skin moisturisation
  • Contributes to skin-softening effect in formulations
