Organic Castor Oil Strengthen Growth and Repair Hair Care

Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis). It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct thickness and a mild, characteristic odor.

While it’s a natural plant product, it has a unique and powerful composition that gives it a wide range of uses, from industrial applications to cosmetics and traditional medicine.

1. Source: It comes from the seeds (often called “beans”) of the castor plant, which is native to Africa and India but now grows in many tropical regions.
2. Composition: Its most important component is ricinoleic acid, a rare fatty acid that makes up about 85-95% of the oil. This specific acid is responsible for most of castor oil’s unique properties, including its anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effects.
