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.
