Castor Oil – Certified Organic Pure Natural Base Carrier Oil
Castor oil is very light yellow in appearance and is extracted via a cold press process. It is commonly used in soaps, conditioners and balms due to its ability to create a rich, fluffy texture. Castor oil is very absorbent and creates a natural barrier on the skin, which can help guard it from harsh conditions.
Applying castor oil on sensitive skin areas such as the neck and under the eyes can actually reduce the appearance of small wrinkles and fine lines. It should be applied delicately and should not be used during pregnancy.
WARNING: Castor oil contains high levels of ricinoleic acid which can cause an allergic reaction on some people’s skin. Your skin may be prone to irritation. If your skin is only mildly irritated by castor oil, you may be slightly itchy or develop mildly red skin. A severe irritation may result in an itchy and uncomfortable rash or even hives. It is recommended that a patch test be done first on a small sensitive area of the skin to determine if you’re allergic to castor oil or not.
