As a popular and widely used carrier oil, Castor Oil, also known as Castor Carrier Oil, is well-known for its ability to protect the skin against harsh environmental factors. This makes it a fantastic carrier oil for diluting essential oils. Not to mention, it is also highly valued when it comes to haircare!
- When used on the skin, the many antioxidants within Castor Carrier Oil work to help reduce swelling and calm itchy and uncomfortable skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
- Other Castor Oil benefits come from its ability to create a protective barrier on the skin that works to provide a shield against harsh environmental conditions.
- Castor Carrier Oil is one of the few carrier oils that can be used as an emulsifying agent. In cosmetics applications, it can also be used in creams & lotions, body butters, soaps and massage products.
- When it comes to haircare, it is highly valued for its ability to help soften the scalp and treat dandruff.
Castor oil for hair growth
Castor oil is sometimes marketed as a treatment for dry scalp, hair growth, and dandruff. It may moisturize your scalp and hair. But there's no science to back up claims that it treats dandruff or promotes hair growth.
In fact, using castor oil in your hair could cause a rare condition called felting, which is when your hair becomes so tangled it has to be cut off.
Anti-inflammatory effects
Research in animals shows that ricinoleic acid may help fight swelling and pain caused by inflammation when applied to your skin. One study in people found it was as effective at treating symptoms of knee arthritis as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).
Our Castor Oil is pharmaceutical grade, Cold Pressed (Virgin), and no hexane is used during production process, making it Hexane Free.
