Description
Castor oil is a thick, pale yellow oil extracted from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). It has been used for centuries for medicinal, cosmetic, and industrial purposes. Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties.
There are two common types:
Cold-pressed Castor Oil: Pure, chemical-free, suitable for skin, hair, and health use.
Black Castor Oil (Jamaican): Roasted before extraction, darker and stronger, often used for hair growth.
