Castor Oil
INCI
SUMMARY
Castor oil is a thick, viscous oil sourced from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Castor oil is used in skincare products for its moisture-rich and emollient properties. It can help soften and hydrate skin which makes it desirable in products like creams, lotions and lip balms. Castor oil is also used in cleansers and makeup removers because of its ability to dissolve makeup and impurities.
