Where castor oil shows up in a formula
It is a thick, single-ingredient oil used as a base in creams, serums, lotions and balms. Its thickness is the reason makers reach for it, and also the reason to test a small batch first: a heavy oil changes how a finished product spreads and feels.
Our listing is cold-pressed and hexane-free, pressed mechanically rather than extracted with chemicals, with no added fragrances, dyes or fillers. For the same reason many buyers start with the 0.5 oz sample before choosing a bulk size.
Questions to settle before you order
- Extraction methodConfirm the oil is pressed, not solvent-extracted, and whether it is refined. Our bulk listing is cold-pressed and hexane-free.
- Certification paperworkThe bulk listing states USDA-certified organic. If your label will say organic, ask for the documentation behind it and keep it with your batch records.
- Packaging sizeBulk sizes run 5 lb, 25 lb, 100 lb and 440 lb. Match the size to the batch you actually plan to make.
- Your own testingPatch test finished products and follow the safe-use practices that apply to your formulation.
