Castor Oil

– INCI Name: RICINUS COMMUNIS SEED OIL

– Origin: Vegetable

Castor oil (Ricinus communis seed oil) is extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, which is native to Africa and Asia. Castor oil is known for its moisturising, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it a popular ingredient in natural cosmetics.

Functions of Castor Oil in Topical Use:

1. Deep hydration: For both skin and hair, castor oil penetrates deeply, maintaining hydration, improving softness and preventing dryness.

2. Strengthens hair and eyelashes: Deeply nourishes the hair, improving its resistance and reducing breakage. It is also very effective in strengthening eyelashes, making them longer and fuller with constant use.

3. Stimulates hair growth: Thanks to its ability to improve blood circulation in the scalp, castor oil promotes hair growth, leaving it stronger and healthier.

4. Improves elasticity and reduces stretch marks: On the skin, castor oil improves elasticity, helping to prevent sagging and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and wrinkles. It also softens the skin, leaving it more luminous and smoother.

5. Cellular regenerator: Promotes cell regeneration, accelerating the healing of minor skin wounds and helping to improve the tone and texture of the epidermis. In the hair, it favours the recovery of the hair fibre, helping to prevent hair loss and stimulating growth.

Castor oil is a multi-purpose ingredient that offers deep moisturising, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and a powerful regenerative effect. Castor Oil is ideal for skin, hair and eyelash care.
