Add exceptional moisturizing and lathering benefits to your handmade creations with our high-quality Castor Oil. Derived from the castor bean (Ricinus communis), this rich, viscous oil is prized by soap makers and skincare artisans for its unique ability to attract and retain moisture. Whether you’re creating a moisturizing bar of soap, a nourishing hair conditioner, or a soothing lip balm, castor oil offers unmatched versatility and skin-loving benefits. A must-have in any formulator’s collection, this oil is a staple ingredient in countless cold process and hot process soap recipes. Just a small amount enhances the creamy lather of bar soaps while boosting their conditioning properties—making it an ideal addition to your castor oil for soap making supply list. Our castor oil wholesale offering is perfect for both hobbyists and professional makers looking for reliable quality at scale. Whether you're crafting a few batches at home or managing large-scale production, you’ll appreciate the purity, consistency, and value of our castor oil in bulk sizes.

Key Benefits:

  • Lather Booster: In soap making, castor oil contributes to a stable, bubbly, and creamy lather that improves the user experience.
  • Deep Moisturization: A natural humectant, castor oil draws moisture into the skin and locks it in, leaving skin soft and hydrated.
  • Skin & Hair Friendly: Soothes dry, irritated skin and adds shine and manageability to hair when used in conditioners and scalp treatments.
  • Natural Viscosity: Its thick, syrupy texture makes it a great binding agent in balms, salves, massage oils, and emulsions.
