Castor Oil description

Castor oil is an intensely nourishing, unique oil that works wonders for the skin. Thanks to its wonderfully rich consistency, 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 exceptional anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. This means that despite its thick texture, castor oil is deeply balancing and helps soothe irritated skin while keeping blemishes and acne at bay. It leaves the skin incredibly soft, supple, and protected.
