DESCRIPTION

Cascarilla Oil occurs as a light yellow to brown amber liquid with a pleasant, spicy odor. It is the volatile oil obtained by steam distillation of the dried bark of Croton cascarilla Benn. and of Croton eluteria Benn. (Fam. Euphorbiaceae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil, but it is practically insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol.
