Castor Oil

Castor oil is a nutrient rich oil valued for its high content of ricinoleic acid, vitamin E, and omega-6 fatty acids, making it a powerful natural beauty treatment for both skin and hair. Its rich fatty acid profile helps it deeply moisturize and soften dry skin, especially rough areas such as elbows, knees, and heels, while also supporting the skin barrier for healthier-looking skin overall. Thanks to its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, it is also often used to help calm irritated skin, reduce scalp discomfort, combat dandruff, and support blemish-prone skin. For hair care, castor oil is widely used to nourish the scalp, condition dry and brittle strands, improve softness and thickness, tame split ends, and support fuller-looking hair, lashes, and brows. Claims around hair growth are popular, but strong clinical evidence is still limited; the best-supported benefits are moisturizing hair, adding shine, supporting scalp health, and improving overall hair quality.
