Castor oil is a natural vegetable oil derived from the seeds of the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis). It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its laxative properties, helping to relieve occasional constipation. Castor oil works by stimulating the intestines to move stool through the digestive tract. In addition to its laxative effects, castor oil is also used in skincare for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties. The oil is cold-pressed to preserve its natural benefits and is free from additives or synthetic ingredients.
