Tyrkisk rødolje - engelsk: Castor Turkey Red - er en særdeles unik olje.

Dette er kastorolje som er tilsatt svovelsyre, som gjør at den i motsetning til andre oljer er vannløselig.

Tyrkisk rødolje brukes som et solubiliserings- og mygjørende middel i hudpleie,  særlig mye brukt i badeoljer, dessuten flytende såper og sjampo, lotion og forskjellige rengjøringsmidler. Den brukes også til "superfatting" i såpelaging, da den ikke saponifiseres og dermed gir såpen en ekstra fet kvalitet. Den benyttes også som emulgator-hjelpemiddel til oljer og fett.

Tyrkisk rødolje har en distinkt stram lukt, og det anbeles å blande den ut med lette oljer  - spesielt MCT (fraksjonert kokosolje) - samt eteriske oljer dersom den skal anvendes som badeolje. Også en perfekt olje å bruke til å lage badebomber.
