"Castor oil: an oil with many positive effects."
Castor oil is obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of the castor bean, or castor (Ricinus communis). The plant thrives in tropical and temperate climates and originates from East Africa. Castor oil is a highly valued and valuable chemical raw material. It is suitable for the care of all skin types, including sensitive skin.
The main characteristic of castor oil comes from the particularity of its triglyceride composition – almost 90% of the fatty acids in triglycerides are made up of ricinoleic acid. This is a monounsaturated fatty acid with an additional hydroxyl group on the carbon chain, which is prone to bonding to other hydroxyl groups via hydrogen bonds. Castor oil is one of the unique vegetable oils with its fatty acid composition. It also acts as a natural humectant, attracting and retaining moisture.
The uses of castor oil are quite varied, as it can help us with various skin problems, but it is also useful for hair and eyelashes.
Castor oil is very popular in cosmetics for its many beneficial properties.
- hair care – apply the oilwith your fingers to the ends and scalp just next to the head and massage in. Do not apply it to the rest of your hair, as it will be difficult to rinse off. Then cover your hair with a plastic cap and wrap it in a towel. Leave the oil on your scalp for 15 to 20 minutes or overnight. Afterwards, wash your hair with a normal shampoo. Repeat the process once a week for 6 to 8 consecutive weeks.
- skin care – the oil is great for moisturising the skin, as it penetrates deeply and helps retain moisture. It can be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve overall skin health.
- Eyelash and eyebrow care – Castor oil can help grow and strengthen eyelashes and eyebrows. Apply it with a cotton bud or clean mascara brush before bedtime.
- Nail care – the oil can be used to strengthen the nails and soften the cuticles. Regular massaging of the nails can help prevent breaking and splitting.
Castor oil has become indispensable in my beauty routine. After a few weeks of regular use, I noticed that my eyelashes and eyebrows were thicker and healthier. I simply apply it in the evening and the results are visible in the morning. I really recommend it to everyone!
I use this oil to treat dry skin, especially on my elbows and heels. It is extremely moisturising and nourishing. After a few days of use, my skin is noticeably softer and smoother. A great product for everyday use.
