The unretouched photo above shows the results of a recent low temperature test between GROCO 2 and a competitive red oil. The GROCO 2 RED OIL (left) remained crystal clear to the bottom of the vial. The other material became heavily opaqued with frozen saturated acids. GROCO 2 R E D OIL's exceptionally low content of saturated fatty acids—titre 3°C—is advantage enough in itself to make it top choice for many processors. More than one producer of a liquid shampoo, for example, prefers GROCO 2 R E D OIL because it gives a formulation that stays liquid at low temperatures. Send for samples
