Castor Carrier Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the Castor plant. Its viscous texture, pale to golden yellow hue, and mild, nutty aroma make it a deeply nourishing oil. Renowned for its high ricinoleic acid content, it's a popular choice for skincare and haircare.
Suggested Uses:
- Skin Cleansing: Effective in cleansing the skin, helping to unclog pores.
- Hair Conditioning: Provides a soft, manageable texture to the hair.
- Joint Massage: Traditionally used in massages to ease joint discomfort.
Shelf life: Users can expect a shelf life of 24 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended
