Most of the people think that cotton seed is used for only to make cotton seed oil. But actually we can use it in several ways to make our life more convenience. Here is the list and description below.

Cosmetic Ingredient

Because of its price and neutral taste, it is widely used in cosmetics. Both as an oil and as an emollient when hydrogenated.

Cosmetic companies use this in products including

• Cleansing products
• Eye makeup including eye liners
• Lipsticks and balms

The oil has been used in soaps and candles for over a hundred years, so it's move to the cosmetic industry was an obvious one.

Because it's virtually fragrance-free, after it has been deodorized, it is used in products for those with eczema and psoriasis as a gentle skin conditioner.

Cottonseed Oil in Foods

Cotton seed is used as cotton seed oil. Cottonseed oil is mild tasting unlike oils such as olive, coconut, and corn. This and the low cost of it has made it one of America's favorite. Although you may not see it for sale in your supermarket, it is used in food production and in the catering industry and may be blended with other oils you currently purchase.In the early 1900s it was used in Crisco, in fact, the name Crisco comes from (crystallized cottonseed oil). Crisco p and cottonseed oil, changed the way America cooked. Where lard had previously been used, Crisco took over. Now, Crisco no longer uses cottonseed oil as it fell out of favor in the early 2000s when there was a big push to eliminate trans fatty acids from the diets. This liquid oil with a neutral taste is high in saturated fat coming in with 26g of saturated fat compared to 7.3g for canola (rapeseed). When hydrogenated, this rises to 94g. Many restaurants use this oil as well as canola (rapeseed) because it has a high smoking point making it suitable for deep fat frying. Many prepackaged and processed foods continue to use this in their products or even a mixture of oils.

• Potato chips
• Salad dressing and mayonnaise
• Cakes, cookies, crackers, snack bars
• Cereals.

Fertilizer.

The cottonseed meal after being dried can be used as a dry organic fertilizer, as it contains 41% protein. It can also be mixed with other natural fertilizers to improve its quality and use. Due to its natural nutrients, cottonseed meal improves soil's texture and helps retain moisture. It serves as a good source of natural fertilizers in dry areas due to its tendency of keeping the soil moist. Cottonseed meal and cottonseed ashes are also sometimes used to supplement organic hydroponic solutions. Cottonseed meal fertilizers can be used for roses,camellias , or vegetable gardens.
