Castor oil is notably rich in ricinoleic acid, a compound found exclusively in the castor bean from which the oil is derived. This high concentration of fatty acid sets castor oil apart and is responsible for many of its healing properties.
Ricinoleic acid is recognised for its ability to reduce inflammatory responses by penetrating the skin and activating EP3 receptors within the body. These receptors are integral to the prostaglandin E3 pathway, which is key in regulating inflammation.
Our Organic Castor Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. As a ricinoleic, monounsaturated fatty acid, it serves as both a humectant and a moisturiser. The oil is known for its thick and sticky consistency, making it unique in texture.
