Castor Carrier Oil

Castor Oil is extracted from the seed of the castor plant Ricinus Communis. The moisturising, viscous oil contains a compound, which works as a natural astringent - drawing out impurities, detoxifying and disinfecting the skin, preventing infection and breakouts.

Castor oil has more than 700 uses cosmetically, agriculturally, and industrially. This vegetable-like oil is an ingredient in a variety of cosmetic products, but there’s an increased interest in using castor oil by itself to treat skin disorders, including stretch marks.

It’s possible that castor oil may help reduce the appearance of fresh stretch marks so they fade better over time. However, research to support this method is lacking. It’s also good to remember that stretch marks are a common occurrence and are a natural aftereffect of skin stretching.

Castor oil is the best oil for hair growth. It keeps your hair moisturized and helps in better blood circulation to the scalp. Castor oil can be mixed with some another lighter oils to improve its thick density and helps to break up oils that clog glands and pores.

Castor oil is used as the carrier oil in the Hair Growth and Stretch Marks & Cellulite oil blend treatment at Oriental Massage Galway (OMG).
