Castor Butter – Refined / Refined Source Oil
RidhSa Lipids Castor Butter – Refined / Refined Source Oil is a derived cosmetic butter formulated from refined Ricinus communis seed oil and a specified lipid structuring system. Because refined castor oil remains liquid at normal ambient temperatures, the finished butter texture is created by formulation or an identified processing route rather than by extraction of naturally solid castor fat. Refined source oil typically offers more consistent colour and a milder odour than virgin oil. The finished ingredient may provide emollience, gloss and body in lip products, balms, body butters, hair-care products and solid moisturizers. Its exact melting behaviour, firmness and sensory profile depend on the structuring system. Confirm the complete INCI, oil percentage, processing method, quality specifications and source documentation for the commercial grade.
