Castor Oil (Ricinus communis) - Refined

This oil is known for its strong purging and detoxing properties. It is an effective acne treatment that helps increase cell turnover.

One property of castor oil that distinguishes it from all other carrier oils is its exceptionally high concentration of ricinoleic acid. Ricinoleic acid is a unique fatty acid found almost exclusively in castor oil.

This compound is known for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, making castor oil particularly effective in soothing irritated skin, reducing inflammation, and fighting off bacterial and fungal infections.

Additionally, ricinoleic acid has been found to stimulate hair growth and promote scalp health, further highlighting castor oil's distinct therapeutic benefits compared to other carrier oils.

NOTE: CASTOR OIL IS VERY DRYING AND MUST BE DILUTED AND MIXED WITH OTHER CARRIER OILS BEFORE USING.
