Product details
Castor oil European Pharma Grade - Kosher is a top-quality triglyceride fixed oil extracted through a cold expression process from the seeds of Ricinus communis (L).
This pharma-grade oil is a clear, almost colourless or slightly yellow, viscid liquid with a characteristic odor and a bland taste, followed by a slightly acrid aftertaste.
The Refined Castor oil EP grade fully complies with the European Pharmacopoeia monograph and is suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications. The company utilises an advanced purification method to refine the castor oil, resulting in a product of exceptional quality that meets the highest industry standards.
The Refining method ensures that the Castor oil is hexane-free and has low moisture and acid value. The cold-pressed seeds of Castor undergo a high-level refinery process that results in a stable and very high-quality oil suitable for pharmaceutical applications.
Refined Castor oil is often added to lipsticks, glosses and other face care products because of its suitability for delicate facial skin.
Sizes: 100ml, 500ml, 1L or 5L.
