Ricinoleic Acid

Ricinoleic Acid is a naturally derived, unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It is widely used as a plasticizer and flexibilizer in the production of bio-based polyols, enhancing flexibility and durability. In the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, it serves as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and internal lubricant, contributing to improved product performance and texture. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties make it valuable in formulating products requiring such characteristics.
