Our Castor Oil is a naturally thick, pale oil with a high concentration of ricinoleic acid—85% to 95%—making it a powerhouse ingredient for skin, hair, and cosmetic formulations. Its unique fatty acid profile also contains modest levels of oleic and linoleic acids, contributing to its nourishing, softening properties.

🌿 Why It’s Special:

• Highly Emollient & Glossy: Castor oil has a naturally greasy texture with a rich, glossy finish, making it ideal for lipsticks and balms. Its natural shine enhances product appearance while its stickiness provides lasting adhesion—great for preventing feathering on the lips.

• Deep Skin Penetration: With a low molecular weight, castor oil easily absorbs into the skin, helping to soften, hydrate, and improve moisture balance without clogging pores (comedogenic rating: 1).

• Humectant & Viscosity Booster: Ricinoleic acid acts as a humectant—drawing moisture to the skin—while also thickening formulas, giving castor oil its signature texture.

• Compatible with Beeswax & Alcohol: Its solubility in alcohol and synergy with beeswax make it a popular base for balms, deodorants, and salves.

💧 Suggested Uses:

• Skin Care: Helps maintain moisture balance and improve softness.

• Lip Care: Adds gloss and tack to lip balms or lipsticks for longer wear and a smoother finish.

• Castor Oil Packs: Traditionally used to support digestion and general wellness.
