Castor oil by Biopark is one of the few oils that can be used as an emulsifying agent. It also acts as a protective barrier on your skin that will protect against harsh environmental conditions. Castor oil is used for massage, aromatherapy, and in manufacturing (particularly as a conditioning agent in hair care products).
Ricinoleic acid is the main component of castor oil, and it exerts anti-inflammatory effects. Using hair care products that contain castor oil can help keep dandruff at bay. It is great for the deep cleansing of acne prone skin. It also helps fight against wrinkles and stretch marks.
Description: Cold pressed from castor seeds. It is light yellow in color and has very little characteristical scent, compared to most carrier oils. By design, castor oil will remain on the surface of the skin, acting as a barrier.
Oil skin cleansing: Apply a thin layer of castor oil to cleansed skin. Cover your face with hot wet towel or expose the face to hot steam to open the pores so the oil can enter them. Then gently massage the skin for a few minutes and cover it again with a hot wet towel which will absorb the impurities.
Eyelashes and eyebrows care: Dab on some castor oil on the lashes and brows every night, before going to bed.
Hair care: Massage the oil into the scalp, leave it overnight and wash hair the next morning, to rid the scalp of dandruff.
Dry skin treatment: If you have been suffering from dry skin on the soles of your feet or cracked ankles, castor oil would prove useful. Massage the area with the oil and then soak it in hot water. Your skin will begin to soften.
