Old Castor oil

[KentuckySilks]

I’ve been using castor oil from this big old jug I got at soapers choice or bulk apothecary, can’t remember… for like 4 years or more!!! No rancidity or dos!! Just thought that was amazing
Still get the good bubbles and finished soap seems fine- anyone else this lucky with shelf life stability?

I still have about 14kg of the 28kg of Shea butter I relocated with June of 2019! It traces very fast but no DOS or anything funky. I bought it freshly made though.

It is now strictly for soaping now. I wouldn’t trust it in lotion or body butter because of how old it is.
