About
Castor oil reacted with ozone to form ozonides and peroxides for added activity. The chemistry adds antimicrobial action but also reactive oxygen species — meaning more sensitization risk than plain castor oil.

- Some wound-care use historically
- Castor-oil base remains skin compatible
Known concerns
