3. Product Overview

Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil (P.P.G) is a light-colored, naturally derived castor oil produced through a carefully controlled pressing and mild purification process. Unlike fully refined grades, PPG castor oil retains much of its natural molecular structure while achieving improved clarity and reduced color, making it suitable for applications where both appearance and functional performance are important.

At Nova Industries, PPG Castor Oil is manufactured using selected castor seeds and optimized pressing conditions to ensure low moisture, controlled acidity, and consistent viscosity. The “pale” characteristic refers to its lighter color profile compared to standard pressed oils, which is particularly valued in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and specialty formulations where color stability matters.

Buyers choose Pale Pressed Grade Castor Oil when they need a balance between natural origin and process consistency. It offers reliable performance, good oxidative stability, and predictable behavior across batches—making it easier to integrate into existing manufacturing processes without reformulation issues.
