About

Organic castor oil is a therapeutic oil which is excellent for skin and scalp health.  It has a tradition of healing dating from antiquity and was known as “The Hand of Christ.” The first documented text mentioning castor seed oil is in the Ebers Papyrus, Egypt’s oldest medicinal scroll in 1550 BCE.  

Cold pressed organic castor oil contains 90% Ricinoleic acid. Ricinoleic acid exerts many of anti-inflammatory effects associated with castor oil. Undecylenic Acid is also prevalent in castor oil and is what gives the oil it’s antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiviral attributes. Another unique attribute to cold pressed castor oil is the ability to easily penetrate deep into the skin. This is due to its molecular mass, which is low enough to enter into the stratum corneum. For this reason castor oil is helpful with arthritic conditions. Studies have shown that castor oil acts effectively as an analgesic, reducing pain significantly.
