CASTOR OIL
COLD PRESS GRADE CASTOR OIL
There are many techniques for extracting castor oil, one of which is the cold-pressed grade. In this technique, the castor seeds are extracted without adding any heat or chemicals, making the oil a high-quality natural oil. This method retains most of the natural nutrients of the oil. Therefore, this category of oil is specifically used in applications requiring high purity, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and certain industrial uses.
