About Castor Oil (Extra Virgin)
Castor oil (extra virgin) is a vegetable oil extracted from castor beans (Ricinus communis), primarily used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids due to its high viscosity and thermal stability. Internationally traded grades include cold-pressed (extra virgin), refined, and hydrated variants, typically classified by free fatty acid content and color standards. India dominates global production and exports, supplying approximately 80% of worldwide castor oil, followed by China and Brazil. Buyers should verify cold-press authenticity through acid value testing (ideally below 2%), as mislabeling between refined and extra virgin grades remains common; genuine extra virgin maintains distinctive nutty aroma and darker color profiles absent in refined variants.
