Castor Pharmaceuticals
CASTOR OIL USP GRADE - END USER APPLICATION
- Pharmaceutical Grade Castor Oil is produced by first pressing the seeds of the castor plant, without losing medicinal qualities.
- It is clear, brilliant, colorless or slight yellow, viscous, and conforms with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) norms.
COSMETIC INDUSTRY
- The cosmetics industry uses castor oil manufactured as extracted by another route.
- Its nutritional yet non-irritating and emollient properties make it preferred over other vegetable oils in the preparation of products such as:
- Soap
- Hair tonics and rinses
- Lubricants
- Hydraulic fluids
- Paints
- Dyes
- Coatings
- Inks
- Cold-resistant plastics
- Waxes and polishes
- Nylon
- Perfumes
PHARMACEUTICAL AND DRUG
- Modern drugs are rarely given in a chemical state, so most active ingredients are combined with excipients to aid effectiveness.
- Castor oil, or a castor oil derivative such as Kolliphor EL (polyethoxylated castor oil, a nonionic surfactant), is added to many modern drugs.
