Castor oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the castor plant and has been used for thousands of years by various civilizations for health and beauty purposes. Castor oil has been used as a traditional treatment in many cultures from ancient Egypt to China, India to the Roman Empire. In the modern era, it has become a widely used product in skin care, hair care and medical treatments.

Production: Castor oil is obtained by cold pressing. Cold pressing preserves the nutritional properties and natural components of the oil. Mature and dry castor seeds are used in the production of the oil. These seeds provide the characteristic dark yellow or brown color of the oil.

Color, Aroma and Fragrance: Castor oil is usually light yellow to shades of yellow and the smell can be mild and neutral, although some products may have a slight nutty odor. Castor oil is often used as a carrier oil and the fragrance note can be light, neutral and sometimes nutty. Its aroma strength is low, making it ideal for blending with other oils and using in various formulations.

Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
