Overview of Castor Oil

Castor Oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Known for its rich ricinoleic acid content, it is widely used in personal care, hair care, skincare, and home care formulations.

In personal care, Castor Oil is valued for its moisturising, emollient, and soothing properties, making it a key ingredient in soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lip balms, creams, and massage oils. Its unique fatty acid composition provides thickening, conditioning, and stabilising benefits in cosmetic formulations.
