CASTOR OIL
PALE PRESSED GRADE CASTOR OIL
Pale-Pressed Grade Castor Oil is a premium-quality castor oil extracted from the first pressing of selected high-quality castor seeds, using a mechanical expeller without any chemical solvents. The term “pale-pressed” refers to its lighter color and lower acid content, making it suitable for applications requiring higher purity and color standards, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and high-grade lubricants.
