Castor oil description

Castor oil is an intensely nourishing and unique oil that works as a fantastic skin saviour. Thanks to its wonderfully rich texture, it is absorbed slowly by the skin, making it unbeatable for creating a strong, long-lasting moisture barrier. It is the ultimate ingredient in products designed to protect the skin from harsh weather, such as luxurious lip balms, rich foot creams, and nourishing winter salves. The oil is naturally packed with ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid known for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This means that despite its thick texture, castor oil is actually deeply balancing and helps soothe irritated skin while keeping impurities and acne at bay. It leaves the skin incredibly soft, supple, and protected.
