Castor Oil

Category: Oleochemicals

Premium cold-pressed castor oil derived from Ricinus communis seeds, widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.

Bio Green Wax supplies high-quality castor oil, a versatile vegetable oil obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis). Known for its unique chemical composition rich in ricinoleic acid (approximately 85–90%), castor oil exhibits exceptional viscosity, lubricity, and moisturising properties that make it invaluable across a wide range of industries.

Our castor oil is carefully sourced and processed to meet the highest standards of purity and consistency. It is available in both cold-pressed (virgin) and refined grades, suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. The oil's remarkable stability and solubility in alcohol distinguish it from other vegetable oils, making it a preferred ingredient in formulations requiring superior performance.

Castor oil is naturally biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, aligning with Bio Green Wax's commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible sourcing.
