Castor oil

Details

Castor oil increases blood flow to the scalp which promotes healthier hair.

Applying castor oil can boost hair growth. It can moisturize a dry, irritated scalp. Castor oil’s antibacterial and antifungal properties can reduce dandruff.

Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid.

This means it is an ideal skin moisturizer.

It also prevents or reduces water loss through the outer layer of the skin.
