What is this Castor Oil that people are raving about?





I thought I'd summarise some key nuggets of info about Castor Oil for you here;

1. It's a natural moisturiser

Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid (say that 3x fast!) which is a monounsaturated fatty acid. It acts as a humectant* and is often used to moisturise the skin. It's great for hydrating the skin, with none of the preservatives, dyes or nasties that can be found in shop bought products!

2. It can promote wound healing



3. Another natural anti-inflammatory




4. It can reduce acne

You team point 2 & 3 together, throw in some antibacterial properties, and BOOM - castor oil has been known to reduce acne symptoms.

5. It keeps your skin & hair healthy

Did you know you can use castor oil on it's own as a natural hair conditioner?

It's moisturising properties can also help out those with dandruff, just leave it on as a mask for 15 mins and rinse out (I like to use the Suds Lure soap bar after as I have thin hair) - but some just rinse and rock it!

We're having a lot of fun working with castor oil at the moment. It's only a matter of time until a product pops up on our site containing it....


As always if you'd like to read more (we always recommend you do your own research on products too!) health line have done a good article which you can access here.
