Castor (Ricinus communis) is a strong cleansing oil thats especially effective in targeted skincare, hair care, and scalp care applications. It is known for preserving moisture while its fatty acids leave the skin feeling nourished. Its not surprising that this oil has found recent popularity in oil cleansing methods for skincare. Castor oil does well when paired with less viscous oils as it can feel heavy to many skin types. If used as a daily moisturizer, blending with other oils is recommended.
