How is Glyceryl Ricinoleate produced?
Glyceryl Ricinoleate is produced through the esterification of ricinoleic acid, derived from castor oil, with glycerol. This chemical process yields a stable, easily processable ester that can be seamlessly incorporated into various formulations. Thanks to the controlled production process, Glycerolricinoleate is a reliable ingredient for both cosmetic and industrial applications.
