Product Description
Cotton Seed Oil, Refined is a long-standing commodity in the food industry, known for its high oil content and natural stability. In cosmetics, it’s valued for its resistance to oxidation and heat, making it ideal for hot-process formulations like soaps and balms. With a light, unobtrusive scent and excellent emollient properties, it leaves skin feeling soft and moisturised without a greasy after-feel.
Rich in linoleic acid (40–60%) and palmitic acid (17–28%), Cotton Seed Oil also contains natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), which support skin conditioning and can help extend shelf life. Its affordability and mildness make it an excellent base for a wide range of personal care products, including shampoos, body creams, lotions, and massage oils.
INCI Listing: Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Oil

What is refined cottonseed oil?
It is the fixed oil expressed from the seeds of the cotton plant, Gossypium species (INCI: Gossypium Herbaceum Seed Oil), then refined to a pale, mild oil. It is 100% pure, with no solvents, preservatives or colorants used.
How is cottonseed oil used in soap and skincare?
It is an inexpensive, light emollient that gives soap a creamy, stable lather and conditioning feel, and works as a base oil in lotions, massage oils and balms. Its neutral odour suits fragranced products.
