Called simply “castor oil” under INCI classification, this oil is in no way associated with “castor” (which is French for beavers)! Its full name is Ricinus communis seed oil. The castor is a tropical tree (Brazil, India, Africa) that often has dense green foliage, flowers and occasionally thorny fruit. It’s inside this fruit that we find the famous seed that provides the oil. The specific fatty acid it contains—ricinoleic acid—makes this oil a beauty care product with well-recognized virtues, as it softens skin and regenerates its moisture barrier. These properties have been lauded since ancient times when Cleopatra used it as a makeup remover.
