"Castor oil is a versatile vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the *Ricinus communis* plant. It is known for its moisturizing properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products. When applied topically, it helps to hydrate the skin and lock in moisture, which can support skin health. Castor oil is also used to nourish hair and scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth. Due to its thick consistency, it is often mixed with other carrier oils for easier application. It is important to perform a patch test before using to ensure there are no allergic reactions. For external use only."
