Pure Cold Pressed Castor Oil for Eyebrows Eyelashes and Beard Growth

Castor oil is a versatile vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Typically pale yellow or nearly colorless, it has a slightly viscous consistency and a mild, characteristic odor. Its unique composition, dominated by ricinoleic acid (up to 90%), endows it with exceptional properties—anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and lubricating.

In cosmetics, it’s a popular ingredient in moisturizers, hair conditioners, and lip balms, as it penetrates skin and hair effectively, locking in hydration. Medicinally, it’s long been used as a stimulant laxative. Industrially, its high viscosity and resistance to breakdown make it valuable in lubricants, plastics, and biodiesel production.

While raw castor seeds contain toxic ricin, properly processed oil is safe for use. This adaptability has solidified its role across personal care, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing sectors.
