the seed. Sulfated castor oil is created by adding sulfuric acid
to castor oil, and is considered the first synthetic detergent.

and therefore makes a wonderful base for a bath oil as it mixes
well with water, producing a milk bath.

Various Applications of
Turkey Red Oil:
Turkey Red oil is used in agriculture as organic manure, in textiles
as surfactants and wetting agents, in paper industry for defoaming,
in cosmetics as emulsifiers, in pharmaceuticals as undecylenate,
in paints inks and as lubricants.
For e.g. it is used to emulsify essential oils so that they will
dissolve in other water-based products, or for superfatting liquid
soap if you want the soap to remain transparent. This means that
the oil will combine with the water in the tub, and not leave those
little oil bubbles floating on the top of the water. It is of medium
viscosity and is usually used in bath oil recipes along with fragrance
or essential oils, or in shampoos. This oil also has great moisturizing
abilities.
