Potassium ricinoleate

Description:
Potassium ricinoleate is a potassium salt derived from ricinoleic acid, which is a fatty acid obtained from castor oil. It is characterized by its surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white powder or granules and is soluble in water, which enhances its utility as an emulsifier and stabilizer in formulations. Potassium ricinoleate exhibits mildness, making it suitable for use in personal care products, particularly for sensitive skin. Additionally, it possesses antimicrobial properties, contributing to its effectiveness in preserving formulations. The substance is generally recognized as safe when used appropriately, although it is essential to consider potential allergies or sensitivities to castor oil derivatives. Overall, potassium ricinoleate serves as a versatile ingredient in both industrial and consumer products, leveraging its unique chemical structure for various functional benefits.
