Castor Oil is rich in fatty acids and is soothing and lubricating. It is a humectant that attracts moisture to the skin. Castor Oil is routinely used in hair oils, balms, and other thick emulsions for the skin and hair. In combination with other oils and as a superfatting agent, Castor Oil lends emolliency to soap formulations. It, however, should be used at a low percentage to keep the soap from becoming too soft.

"I am a beginner soap-maker, and also interested in lotion-making; and have spent countless hours online looking at different suppliers. Being "new to the scene" it was overwhelming to do so much searching. But when I found your Web site, I was able to find everything I was looking for easily, and was impressed at your prices and the fact that you also have products available in small amounts. I received my order quickly, and it was so carefully packed. Also, I was very impressed with your print catalog - so much great information all in one place. So, I just wanted to say Thank You!"- Chris Taher | Grand Rapids, MI
