Castor Oil (Ricinus Communis Seed Oil)
Updated 27 September, 2023
A naturally sourced antibacterial oil, rich in fatty acids that helps optimise skin.
Compatible with both dry and acne prone skin, this moisturising antibacterial oil fights inflammation whilst helping to fight free radicals and unclog pores. Derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant, and rich in ricinoleic acid (a potent fatty acid), hydrating Castor Oil will help optimise skin by reducing puffiness for a smooth, soft feel.
Some of the benefits for the skin are:
- Acne: The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of castor oil make it useful in reducing acne.
- Texture: Castor oil is also rich in other fatty acids. These can enhance smoothness and softness when applied to the face.
- Complexion: The fatty acids in castor oil can also promote the growth of healthy skin tissue, making it helpful in restoring uneven skin tones.
- Sensitive skin: Castor oil has a low comedogenic score. This means it is unlikely to clog pores in the skin and reduces the risk of developing blackheads, making it appropriate for use on sensitive skin.
