Composition

Composition in majority fatty acids - Gas chromatography of batch 19MH0068  :

  • Polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA or EFA) or vitamin F: linoleic acid (omega-6) (7.35%)
  • Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA):  ricinoleic acid (82.05%),  oleic acid (omega-9) (5.26%)

Major fatty acid composition - Gas chromatography of batch 20MH0004:

  • Polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA or EFA) or vitamin F: linoleic acid (omega-6) (7.35%)
  • Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA):  ricinoleic acid (82.05%) , oleic acid (omega-9) (5.26%)
  • Saturated fatty acids (AGS): palmitic acid (1.88%), stearic acid (2.18%)

Focus on ricinoleic acid: ricinoleic acid is a fatty acid with a slightly atypical structure, it is a hydroxylated derivative of oleic acid. It is part of the omega-9 family, like oleic acid. It is the active component of castor oil. In addition to its powerful and irritating laxative and purgative effects, ricinoleic acid prevents the growth of germs (bacteria, mold, etc.). It is also useful for the treatment of certain skin problems (acne, dermatoses, fungal infections, inflammations, etc.).

Storage conditions
Stable oily macerate. Store in a dry place away from heat and light.
Precautions

- Do not swallow - Due to the strong laxative and purgative effect of castor oil, this macerate should be reserved for external cosmetic use.
- Keep out of reach of children.
