| Abstract | Castor oil is widely used as an emollient in lipsticks, particularly make-up removers and moisturizers. It is also used as a base for some topical medicaments, as well as a purgative (I). Angioedema, rhinitis, asthma and rashes due to castor oil during its extraction from the seeds of Ricinus communis (Euphorbiaceae) and oral administration of the oil have been reported (2). Oleyl alcohol is used as an emulsifier and emollient in lipsticks, hair applications and topical medicament bases, superfatting agent, solvent for essential oils and in the manufacture of paper and printing ink (3). Tosti et al. (4) found that oleyl alcohol was the most common cause of contact dermatitis from fatty alcohols. |
