A fractionated and partially hydrogenated derivative of castor oil used in cosmetics as a thickener, but base remains vegetable triglyceride. Wait, no—actually pure fractions without chem mod under 1515.30; but for alt. This is unmodified fraction. It qualifies under HTS 1515.30.00.00 as castor oil fraction.
