Castor oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor plant, and although these seeds contain toxic substances, they do not mix with the oil. Which makes it safe to use. Castor oil consists of unsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3, ricinoleic acid, vitamin E and other substances important for human health.
It is used as an ointment to enhance hair strength, reduce dandruff, and combat dry hair resulting from exposure to the heat of the sun, the use of chemical dyes, or bathing in salty sea water. It strengthens the nails and protects them from breakage and cracks when applied with oil on a regular basis.
