Castor oil is a multipurpose vegetable oil pressed from castor beans by extracting oil from Ricinus communis plant. It is used for a multitude of purposes such as medicinal, industrial and pharmaceutical uses. It is known as an effective natural treatment for many skin conditions and is also popular as a skin moisturizer as it hydrates the skin and prevents water loss through the outer layer of the skin. Castor oil is also highly effective when it comes to healing wounds as it stimulates tissue growth, reduces dryness and the buildup of dead skin cells, ultimately speeding up the healing process.
