Castor Oil is the fatty oil obtained by cold expression from the seeds of Rizinus communis L.. During the expression step, the temperature of the oil must not exceed 50°C.
Clear at 40°C, slightly yellow, viscous, hygroscopic liquid. Slightly soluble in light petroleum, miscible with ethanol 96% and with glacial acetic acid.
We obtain our high-quality castor oil virgin from India. We have a longstanding partnership with our Indian partners. Since castor oil may be toxic if produced incorrectly, it requires special attention to the production processes when selecting producers.
Through our long-standing partnership and extensive audits, we can clearly trace the production process and through extensive analyses we can ensure that only the peeled seeds are used for oil production. After gentle pressing of the hulled castor beans, they are then further refined. All production steps and analyses comply with the requirements of the Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.).

In India, the miracle tree is cultivated by many small farmers and secures their livelihood. Through framework contracts, we provide the Indian oil mills with planning security.
