We're fans of castor oil because, though it is thicker than other oils, it's an efficient cleanser and astringent that we like to use in combination with other oils to achieve a deep clean and prep our skin for serums and balm. Castor oil has amazing occlusive moisturizing properties, which help prevent water loss and provide a serious hydration boost. Plus, when mixed with other oils, it enhances their benefits and can help brighten and even out skin tone.
The Medicinal And Cosmetic Properties Of Castor Oil
Derived from the beans of the castor plant, castor oil has been used for centuries for its various medicinal and cosmetic properties. In addition to its moisturizing and astringent properties, it has antiviral and antimicrobial properties that make it popular for treating skin issues like dermatitis and fungal infections. And, it's even been used for hair growth!
