Castor Leaf Water Soluble Extract | Arandi, Amudamu

Castor Leaf Liquid Extract provides quercetin and kaempferol glycosides with the ricinine alkaloid from Ricinus communis leaf. Ricinine is a leaf alkaloid and is a different compound from ricin, which is the seed protein — leaf and seed are not interchangeable at any level. Confirm the material carries no seed fraction and require a ricinine assay. Castor Leaf Water-Soluble Extract — known as Arandi / Erandi in Hindi, Amanakku in Tamil, and Amudamu (also Erandamu) in Telugu (Ricinus communis).

FAQs

What are the primary formulation applications of Castor Leaf?
Most buyers use it in topical water phases and traditional preparations. As with any new water-soluble extract, pilot-test in your specific base before committing to a full production run.

Which carrier should I choose — water, propylene glycol or glycerin?
Water alone suits most aqueous formulations. Propylene glycol improves cold-stability and solvency in preserved systems; glycerin gives a milder, skin-friendlier carrier for leave-on formulations. PG and glycerin variants are offered at 500 g and 1 Kg, with PG also available at 5 Kg.
