Castor Butter – Unrefined / Virgin Source Oil

RidhSa Lipids Castor Butter – Unrefined / Virgin Source Oil is a derived cosmetic butter made using virgin, mechanically extracted castor seed oil (Ricinus communis) and a declared structuring lipid system. Castor oil is naturally a viscous liquid at ordinary room temperature; the butter consistency therefore requires a suitable structuring process or additional ingredients. The virgin source oil may retain a more characteristic colour and odour than refined oil, depending on handling and filtration. Its ricinoleic-rich triglycerides contribute emollience and gloss, while the structuring system controls firmness and melt behaviour. RidhSa Lipids recommends documenting the complete INCI, virgin oil percentage, structuring ingredients, source region, oxidation and moisture specifications, and measured finished-product melting range before publication.

Overview

Botanical Name	Ricinus communis L.
Cas#	8001-79-4 commonly refers to castor oil; the finished butter blend requires separate complete ingredient identification and SDS.
Color	Cream to pale yellow or light golden, depending on source oil and structuring system.
Method Of Extraction	Virgin castor seed oil is obtained by mechanical pressing and filtration without subsequent chemical refining. The oil is then combined with disclosed structuring lipids or processed by a documented method to achieve a semi-solid butter.
Constituents	Castor oil triglycerides are predominantly rich in ricinoleic acid, with smaller oleic, linoleic, stearic and palmitic fractions. Finished butter also contains structuring lipids or chemically modified castor-derived components, as documented in the actual formula.
Solubility	Insoluble in water; compatible with many oils and fats when melted. Dispersion and solvent behaviour depend on the full formulation.
Specific Gravity	No universal finished-butter value; measure at a defined temperature using the actual product.
Flash Point	Not routinely specified for finished castor butter; obtain a measured value with test method if needed.

Benefits

Adds emollience, shine and cushion to cosmetic products; helps reduce moisture loss; can provide rich texture and structure in balms and solid products depending on the structuring system.

Uses

Lip balms, body butters, massage bars, hand and foot balms, creams, hair masks, conditioners, soaps and solid moisturizers; confirm suitability of the full formulation.

Is unrefined castor butter a naturally solid fat?

No. Castor oil is naturally liquid; cosmetic castor butter generally requires a structuring system or documented modification.

Does unrefined mean every component is virgin?

No. The virgin claim applies to the source castor oil, not automatically to any structuring ingredients.

Is castor butter the same as hydrogenated castor oil?

Not necessarily. Hydrogenated castor oil is one possible solid castor-derived ingredient, but a commercial castor butter may be a blend. Verify its INCI.

Is ricin present in properly manufactured castor oil?

Ricin is a protein associated with castor seed material and is not expected to partition into properly processed oil; nevertheless, supplier safety and contaminant documentation should be reviewed.

What is the melting point of this butter?

It depends on the structuring ingredients and process; use a measured finished-butter melting range or drop point.
