Castor Oil

Description

Castor oil is a vegetable oil that is used for a wide range of cosmetic and medical purposes. It is said to provide health benefits for the face and skin. It has also been used to treat a range of medical conditions, most notably digestive issues. By serving as a source of ricin-oleic acid and several other fatty acids, castor oil has some properties that make it a useful skincare product, particularly for the face.

Benefits :

Face :

The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil make it useful in reducing acne.

Castor oil is unlikely to clog pores in the skin and reduces the risk of developing blackheads, very useful for sensitive skin.

Skin :

Anti-inflammatory: Both castor oil and ricin-oleic acid have demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. This makes them useful for treating irritated skin.

Antimicrobial: It may also protect the skin from bacterial infections by keeping out microbes that can cause disease.

Moisturizing: Castor oil contains triglycerides. These can help maintain moisture in the skin, making it a useful treatment for dry skin.

Cleansing: The triglycerides found in castor oil are also helpful in removing dirt from the skin.
