Locating Unrefined Organic Castor Oil

peace-love-and-suds · Jun 27, 2012

Can anyone help me to locate Organic Unrefined cold pressed castor oil? I would need amounts in the range of a gallon or so. I have looked for hours upon hours and do not know of anyone who meets all of these standards. I checked:

http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkoi ... tml#oac_ca who sells refined expeller pressed
http://www.newdirectionsaromatics.com/c ... p-449.html who sells cold pressed non organic

and many others.

i found one supplier in canada. i emailed them and never recieved a response. try looking for rape seed oil though. canola is the gmo version and as such i dont think you can find organic if you are searching under 'canola'.

OOh geez, ignore me today. Im doing far too many things at once and misread.

Do you mean 'castor' or 'canola'? I don't think you'll find unrefined castor seeing as how it has to be refined in order to make it safe for use. Ricin, the natural constituent in castor, is deadly poisonous and needs to be removed before being sold to the public.
