Castor oil (Ricinus communis) is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans concentrated primarily in a small geographic region of Gujarat in Western India. Castor Oil is known for centuries as a natural conditioner for the hair and skin. It has been used all over the world as a remedy to help hair, eyelash, and brows grow longer and thicker and protect and hydrate dry skin and inflammation. Applying castor oil to wounds creates a moist environment that promotes healing and prevents sores from drying out. Castor oil also contains several properties that can reduce acne and skin irritation. |
