Castor Oil
High-quality Vegan product from Finland
Castor oil is a popular natural therapy for common diseases like constipation and skin problems. It is frequently found in natural beauty products.
Puhdas+ Beauty Oil Castor oil contains high-quality cold-pressed oil from the seeds of the castor plant, which is used to support the well-being of eyelashes, nails and hair.
It strengthens, gives shine and promotes the growth of eyelashes and hair. Nutritious castor oil also effectively treats dry and irritated skin. Also suitable for beard and mustache care.
Castor oil is a versatile vegetable oil that has been utilised for thousands of years. The oil is extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.
These seeds, often known as castor beans, contain ricin, a deadly enzyme. The heating procedure that castor oil goes through during manufacture, however, deactivates the ricin, allowing the oil to be utilised safely.
Castor oil has a variety of medicinal, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications. It is widely used as an addition in foods, pharmaceuticals, and skin care items, as well as an industrial lubricant and a component of biodiesel fuel.
Constipation. Castor oil is broken down in the small intestine after consumption, yielding ricinoleic acid, the primary fatty acid in castor oil. Ricinoleic acid is then absorbed by the colon, causing it to produce a significant laxative effect.
Castor oil has been found in several studies to treat constipation.
