Description: 100% Organic Castor Seed Oil Castor oil is extracted from the Castor Bean Plant. It is a thick, viscous liquid with a slight distinctive smell. It acts similar to glycerin, as a humectant, drawing moisture to the skin. Castor oil contributes to thick, large bubbles in cold process soap and is used in most shampoo bar recipes. Castor oil contains vitamin E, minerals, proteins, antibacterial and anti-fungicidal properties. The Castor Oil website attributes its healing benefits to its unusual chemical composition, which consists of a triglyceride of fatty acids with ricinoleic acid of up to 90 percent. In addition to healing benefits, castor oil also contains anti-inflammatory properties, all of which are related to healthy hair growth.Ingredients: Organic Castor Seed Oil (Product of India)NO CHEMICALS, NO FILLERS, NO OTHER OIL (UNCUT), NO SILICONE & NO FRAGRANCESONLY PURE CASTOR SEED OIL – NOTHING ELSE Scientific Name: Ricinus communis Oil Extraction: Cold Pressed Color: Golden Scent: None Amount: Measured by volume not weight Bottles: Sealed Bottles.

Hair Benefits ✔ Since castor oil is so thick and heavy, it may be best to thin it with other oils like Jojoba, depending on how you are using it. And like all oils do a spot test on your skin to see how your body will react. ✔ Castor oil is a popular ingredient in hair products formulated for highly textured hair because it is known for its ability to seal moisture in the hair, combatting the natural dryness of these hair types. Apply it after moisturizing with a water-based product for a long-lasting seal. ✔ According to researchers studying the light reflected from hair samples, castor oil hair treatments were found to increase the luster of hair. This effect is caused by castor oils ability to coat the hair shaft, sealing in moisture and creating a silkier surface. ✔ Sufficient circulation in the scalp area helps stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles. When the roots of your hair are properly nourished, your hair strands will be stronger and more resilient, allowing them to grow longer without breaking. Castor oil on your scalp can help to increase circulation. In addition, castor oil has a strengthening effect on hair follicles and can stimulate hair growth in cases of alopecia, or hair loss, according to Live and Feel, a health and beauty website. ✔ The Hair Disease website says the antifungal and antibacterial properties in castor oil are useful in combating scalp infections, such as folliculitis, ringworm and peidra. Infections and scalp disorders are major causes of hair loss. Pathogens and micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungus and parasites can attack your skin and scalp, leading to bald patches and impeding hair growth. The omega-9 fatty acids in castor oil also nourish the hair and prevent the scalp from drying. ✔Castor oil as a conditioning treatment can help reduce split ends, which in turn prevents hair loss and breakage. Omega 6 essential fatty acids, vitamin E, proteins and other nutrients in castor oil can penetrate dry and damaged hair, smoothing rough cuticles and helping the hair shaft retain moisture. It has a thick consistency, so mixing it with lighter oils such as olive and jojoba makes it easier to evenly and sufficiently distribute it throughout your hair. Skin Benefits ✔ Castor oil can help cure acne. The ricinoleic acid in castor oil works to inhibit many viruses and bacteria, and as castor oil is able to penetrate skin tissue deeply, this makes it an effective treatment for acne. ✔ Castor oil’s ability to penetrate more deeply than any other essential plant oil make it an excellent way to keep skin looking youthful, smooth and fresh. ✔ Castor Oil also helps treat eczema, psoriasis, itching and irritated skin. ✔ Castor oil will penetrate deep into the tissues to slowly break up scar tissue. Amazingly, castor oil is able to distinguish between healthy cells and abnormal ones. In healthy cells, castor oil will detoxify and stimulate them, while increasing circulation. In abnormal cells like scar tissue and growths, castor oil will instead work to aggressively dissolve cells thanks to its solvent property. ✔ On another note, castor oil can also prevent scars from forming in the first place. Applying castor oil over cuts or scrapes will promote excellent skin healing. To break down internal scarring, soak a piece of clean cloth with castor oil and place it over the scar area for an hour or two each day. You can also simply rub castor oil over the scar each day. More serious internal scarring will take longer to break down. Directions: For Face: Apply to a clean face daily. For best results your before bed. Can be applied to face directly. No need for dilution. For Hair: Apply a few drops to towel dry hair. Adds shine, Luster and improves hair overall health.
