Ricinus Communis Seed Oil

Description

Properties of Castor Oil: • Moisturizes the skin. Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid and monounsaturated fatty acids. These types of fats act as moisturizers and can be used to moisturize the skin. Moisturizers retain moisture, preventing water loss through the outer layer of skin; • Helps heal wounds. Castor oil stimulates tissue growth, so a barrier can form between the wound and the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of infection. It also reduces dryness and cracking, accumulation of dead skin cells that can impede wound healing; • Reduces acne. It is believed that inflammation is a factor in the development and severity of pimples, so applying castor oil to the skin can help reduce symptoms associated with inflammation; • Antibacterial property. Castor oil has antibacterial properties that can help fight excessive bacterial growth when applied to the skin.
