TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Castor oil (C18H34O3) is rich in ricinoleic acid (85-95%) and is insoluble in water but dissolves in organic solvents like ethanol and chloroform. Slightly acidic, it is stable to oxidation but can turn rancid with light or moisture exposure. It functions as a lubricant in machinery, an emollient in skincare, and a thickening agent in cosmetics and paints. Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it helps treat skin conditions like acne and eczema. Additionally, it acts as an antioxidant in formulations and serves as a stimulant laxative in medicine.
