Castor oil is an age old beauty treatment with multiple wonderful uses. It is in the species of perennial flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae.  Hydrating * Anti-inflammatory * Anti-aging * Restoring * Prevents hair loss  Many of castor oil’s benefits come down to its chemical composition. It is classified as a type of triglyceride fatty acid, and almost 90 percent of its fatty acid content is a specific and rare compound called ricinoleic acid. Aside from its primary constituent, ricinoleic acid, castor oil also contains certain beneficial salts and esters that function primarily as skin-conditioning agents. Castor oil is a great skin moisturizer, anti-inflammatory blemish treatment, and can delay the signs of aging since it helps increase collagen and elastin production. Castor oil also prevents hair loss and can be used as a hair treatment oil.  Botanical Name: Ricinus communis Aroma: Neutral, Nutty Viscosity: Heavy Absorption/Feel: Absorbs well Color: Clear Pale Yellow Shelf Life: Highly Stable  DIRECTIONS: This botanical oil has plenty of different uses.
