Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, more commonly known as Castor Oil, is a vegetable-based oil derived from the cold pressed castor seeds. It is immensely rich in fatty acids, making it a hero ingredient in providing deep nourishment to the skin.   Castor Oil acts as a humectant, trapping and sealing moisture to enhance smooth, soft skin and lips.  These moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties can help prevent the formation of wrinkles and puffiness as well.
