Organic Castor Oil 200ml

Castor oil, widely known by its English name, is an oil that has been used since ancient times and offers numerous benefits. It is a non-edible vegetable oil used primarily in cosmetics, but also in the medical field. 

Origin 

Castor oil is extracted by cold-pressing the seeds of the plant known as “Ricinus communis,” which belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family. It is grown primarily in India, China, and Brazil, and is exported worldwide. 

What sets castor oil apart is that it is very viscous and quite dense, unlike most vegetable oils. 

Castor seeds, on the other hand, are inedible and even highly toxic due to the ricin they contain; this is absolutely not the case for the oil, which is completely free of ricin.  

Composition of castor oil

This natural oil is rich in fatty acids:

• Monounsaturated fatty acids (omega-9)
• Polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-6) 
• It also contains saturated fatty acids 

Generally, the oil sold for cosmetic use is unrefined, unlike pharmaceutical castor oils, which undergo refining so they can be used as a laxative.
