Castor Oil (Responsibly Grown)

Add to the oil phase of your formulation, or use at up to 100% in anhydrous products. Its slippery, cushioning texture blends well with lighter carrier oils to balance viscosity.

Formulation Reference

• Solubility: Oil soluble

Option 1: Lip Balms and Lipsticks

Use at 5% to 40% in lip products for its signature slip and glossy, cushioning feel that helps lips look smooth and feel conditioned.

Option 2: Emulsified Creams and Lotions

Add at 2% to 10% to the oil phase to contribute a rich, moisturizing feel and a smooth application.

Option 3: Hair and Body Oils

Blend at 5% to 25% with lighter carrier oils to deliver slip and shine while keeping the overall texture manageable.

Option 4: To Add to a Finished Base

To add Castor Oil to a finished cosmetic base, gently warm the base if needed to ease blending, then stir the castor oil in thoroughly and evenly. Pre-blending with a lighter carrier oil helps this thick oil disperse. Carefully measure the oil and the base to reach your target concentration, mixing slowly until fully uniform, then confirm texture before packaging.
