Cremophor is a polyoxyethylated derivative of castor oil, obtained specifically by reacting hydrogenated castor oil with ethylene oxide. Thanks to its particular composition it acts as an emulsifier and solubiliser, which means it allows the mixing of ingredients that would not otherwise combine.

It is often used in dermocosmetics, toners and milk emulsions, where a fluid, gentle and well-absorbing structure is wanted. It contains no preservatives and is also suitable for products that are later sterilised or heated.

Cremophor is a moisturising and protective ingredient that helps the skin retain moisture and improves the feeling of softness without a greasy film.

• For external use only

• Keep out of the reach of children

• Avoid contact with the eyes

• Store in a cool, dark place

• Always test on a small area of skin before use
