Red Turkey Castor Oil

Turkey Red Castor Oil, also known as Sulfated Castor Oil. It’s water-soluble, which makes it very different from regular oils perfect for emulsions, bath products, and more. It is made by adding sulfuric acid to pure castor oil, making it a very good choice for a completely dispersing bath oil.  Containing all the same humectant and moisturizing properties of Cosmetic Castor Oil but in a water soluble form.  A common addition to bath products, natural soaps, skincare and cosmetics.  As its name suggests, Turkey Red Castor Oil is dark red in colour. 

What Is Red Turkey Oil?
