DESCRIPTION
CASTOR OIL USP

High in ricinoleic acid, whose main property is helping retain water in the skin; it also contains lecithin, which helps keep skin supple and reduce the look of flaking.

Acts as a moisturizer and emollient on very dry areas such as elbows and heels. Helps revitalize the scalp. Traditionally used to help improve the look of scars and some dark spots.

Practical formulation guide
Usage level: 2% -10%
How to use and incorporate: Add to the oil phase of the formula. Oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic, linolenic) are heat-sensitive: add them during cool-down (below 40 °C/104 °F) or heat them as briefly as possible. In anhydrous products (body oils, balms) blend cold or warm.
Formulation tips:
  • Add an antioxidant such as tocopherol (vitamin E) at 0.05–0.5 % to delay rancidity and extend shelf life.
  • Combine light, fast-absorbing oils with heavier oils to adjust the skin feel; dry oils work well in facial serums and heavier oils in balms and products for dry skin.
  • Before scaling up, make a pilot batch and run a stability test (cycles at 4 / 25 / 45 °C/39 / 77 / 113 °F for 4 weeks, checking odor, color, pH, viscosity and separation) in the final packaging.
Compatibility: Miscible with other oils, butters, waxes, esters and most silicones; insoluble in water (requires an emulsifier for creams and lotions).
Storage: Keep protected from light, in a cool, dry place.
Precautions: None in particular; not irritating to the eyes.
Technical information for formulators: This sheet describes industrial uses of the raw material in the development of cosmetic products. It is not an efficacy claim for any finished product. The person responsible for the formulation must validate the concentration, compatibility and claims of their product in accordance with applicable regulations.
