Castor oil, derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, serves as a powerful ingredient in personal care and pharmaceutical products. With its emollient and humectant properties, castor oil effectively moisturizes and conditions the skin and hair, imparting a smoother and healthier appearance.  

Our Castor Oil USP is expeller pressed, hexane-free, non-GMO, and refined to provide a light-coloured oil with a neutral scent, ensuring high-quality performance in various personal care, soap and pharmaceutical formulations.

Usage guidelines for castor oil in personal care, soap, hair care, and pharmaceutical formulations can vary based on the specific product and desired properties. Here are general recommendations for each category:

Personal Care Formulations

  • Skin Moisturizer:
    Incorporating castor oil (2-10%) in skin moisturizers provides deep hydration,
    promoting soft and supple skin. Its emollient properties help lock in moisture,
    making it particularly beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin.
  • Lip Balm:
    Adding castor oil (5-15%) to lip balms offers intensive moisture, preventing
    chapped lips. Its thick consistency forms a protective barrier, keeping lips
    smooth and nourished.


Soap Formulations

  • Cold Process Soap:
    Including castor oil (5-10%) enhances lather in cold process soaps while
    providing a moisturizing element. The oil's conditioning properties contribute
    to a more luxurious feel in the soap.

Hair Care Products

  • Hair Conditioner:
    Formulating hair conditioners with castor oil (1-5%) adds a conditioning layer
    to hair strands, promoting manageability and shine. It helps prevent dryness
    and split ends.
  • Scalp Treatment:
    In shampoos and scalp treatments (1-5%), castor oil nourishes the scalp,
    addressing dryness and promoting a healthy environment for hair growth.

Skin Care Products

  • Body Lotions:
    Including castor oil (2-10%) in body lotions offers intensive moisture and
    helps maintain skin elasticity. The oil's emollient properties create a silky
    texture, leaving the skin feeling smooth and hydrated.
  • Facial Serums:
    Formulating facial serums with castor oil (1-5%) imparts lightweight moisture,
    making it suitable for facial applications. The oil's nourishing properties
    contribute to a radiant complexion without a heavy feel.

The bottle though!

Do yourself a favour and put this in a squeezy bottle (or something) because this is the worst bottle I've dealt with. Giving four out of five because it's otherwise fine, just taking a star for the crappy bottle.
