Crede Organic Castor Oil is a cold-pressed, certified organic oil derived from the seeds of Ricinus communis. Its purity and thickness make it an essential ingredient in high-quality natural soapmaking. Rich in ricinoleic acid and other beneficial fatty acids, this oil contributes a silky, stable lather and enhances the moisturising properties of any soap formulation.

In cold process soapmaking, castor oil is best used in small amounts, typically between 2 to 5 percent of the total oils. It helps improve lather quality and conditioning without compromising bar hardness. Its viscosity also makes it a valuable addition to shampoo bars and other skin-soothing formulations.

Crede’s Organic Castor Oil is free from hexane and chemical solvents, retaining its natural therapeutic properties. It is ideal for nourishing skin, soothing dryness and supporting overall skin health in both cleansing and moisturising applications. This versatile oil blends well with lighter oils and butters, offering structure and richness to handcrafted soaps of all kinds.
