Castor oil (Ricinus Communis) base oil

Ricinus Communis or Castor Oil, originating from the Mediterranean region, Eastern Africa, and India, and now widely grown in Spain, is recognized for its unique chemical composition. Possessing a high concentration of Ricinoleic acid and other fatty acids, it functions effectively as a skin nourishing and hydrating agent. The oil's history traces back to ancient Egypt around 4000 BC, where it served various purposes, including in ointments and lamp fuels. Today, a little application of this oil can significantly improve skin hydration, reduce early aging signs, and combat skin infections owing to its inherent antimicrobial properties.
