Cosmetic grade castor oil is a specific grade of castor oil that is refined and purified to meet the standards set for use in cosmetic products. Castor oil is derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) and has been used for centuries for its various cosmetic and medicinal properties. Cosmetic grade castor oil undergoes a refining process to remove impurities and ensure its purity, making it suitable for use in skincare, haircare, and other cosmetic formulations.

This grade of castor oil is often preferred for cosmetic applications due to its moisturizing, emollient, and conditioning properties. It can be found in a wide range of cosmetic products such as moisturizers, lotions, creams, lip balms, shampoos, and conditioners. Cosmetic grade castor oil is typically odorless or has a very mild odor and is safe for topical use on the skin and hair.
