Black Castor Oil is a highly viscous, nutrient-dense oil extracted from roasted castor beans (Ricinus communis). Unlike traditional castor oil, this variant is produced by roasting the beans before pressing, resulting in a dark amber to black hue and a distinct, smoky aroma. The roasting process enhances the oil’s ricinoleic acid content, giving it superior anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties.
It is widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations due to its ability to promote hair growth, strengthen roots, hydrate dry skin, and soothe scalp conditions. It also acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into skin and hair. In traditional wellness and therapeutic practices, Black Castor Oil is valued for its warming and circulatory-boosting effects.
