Castor Oil

Castor oil, a pale yellow liquid derived from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus Communis), has long been valued for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It has been used for centuries for its therapeutic and medicinal benefits.

Suggested Use

Castor oil provides essential minerals for healthy hair growth and has a low molecular weight, allowing it to be easily absorbed into the skin and hair for nourishment and hydration. When applied to dry hair ends, it moisturizes and helps prevent split ends. Traditionally used as a face cream, castor oil helps reduce dark under-eye circles and supports wrinkle care. It's also commonly added to natural lip balms and glosses for shine and moisture, and to mascaras to promote lash growth. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil has antimicrobial properties, making it effective for disinfecting open wounds and treating fungal infections like ringworm, as well as minor cuts and scratches. Its anti-itch and pain-relieving qualities also make it useful for easing discomfort while healing. Castor oil can be applied to deep cystic acne to reduce inflammation, fight bacteria, and help dissolve the masses overnight. It is also beneficial for sore, tight muscles, offering anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects to aid muscle relaxation, especially when applied to muscle knots or areas like the upper traps or lower back.
