Papaya seed oil

Papaya seed oil (CAS 84012-30-6), derived by cold pressing the seeds of Carica papaya, is a fixed vegetable oil used primarily as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. Commercially recognized also as Carica papaya seed oil, it offers a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel that drives demand across personal care and food sectors for various industrial applications.

In skincare and haircare formulations, it functions as an emollient and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, serums, and hair oils where a light texture and skin absorption profile are commercially desirable. Its emulsifying properties support stable oil-in-water formulations, reducing the need for additional synthetic emulsifiers in natural and clean-label cosmetic lines and high-end personal care products.

In food applications, it is used as a specialty culinary oil and functional ingredient in nutrition products targeting natural, minimally processed formulations for health-conscious consumer markets. The oil also appears in massage and body care products where its spreadability and conditioning performance are key purchasing criteria for manufacturers seeking high-performance botanical ingredients.

Papaya seed oil is supplied as a liquid oil, typically amber to pale yellow in color, available in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial buyers and large-scale manufacturing facilities. It is commonly offered in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications, with cold-pressed and refined variants available depending on specific application requirements and formulation standards.
