Castor oil might not be the flashiest ingredient in your skincare lineup—but it’s definitely one of the most powerful. Extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, this thick, golden oil has been used for centuries for healing, hydration, and overall skin renewal.
Here’s why we love castor oil—and why your skin probably will, too:
🌿 1. Deep Moisture That Lasts
Castor oil is a humectant, which means it draws moisture from the air into your skin. Its rich texture creates a natural barrier that locks in hydration—perfect for dry, flaky, or compromised skin. If your skin ever feels stripped or dehydrated, castor oil comes in like a warm hug.
💧 2. Naturally Rich in Fatty Acids
Castor oil is loaded with ricinoleic acid, a rare fatty acid with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It helps calm irritation, balance oil production, and even fight off blemish-causing bacteria—without clogging pores.
✨ 3. Supports Skin Regeneration
Dry patches, dark marks, and fine lines don’t stand a chance. Castor oil promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which are key to plump, youthful skin. That’s why you’ll find it in our Ethereal Glow Face Oil—because we believe in long-term skin love, not just short-term shine.
🧖♀️ 4. Gentle, But Mighty
For people with eczema, sensitive skin, or inflammation, castor oil offers soothing relief without synthetic ingredients. It’s plant-based, non-toxic, and works beautifully with other botanicals. When blended well (like we do), it becomes a star player in holistic skincare.
🌙 How We Use It
At Radiance and Care, we use organic castor oil as a base in our Ethereal Glow Face Oil to nourish, protect, and renew the skin. It pairs beautifully with Egyptian geranium, frankincense, and other healing botanicals for a glow that’s more than skin-deep.
