Castor Oil

Ricinus communis

Product History

Castor oil has been used for over 4,000 years, with its origins traced back to ancient Egypt. Historical records show that it was widely used for medicinal purposes, skincare, and even as a fuel for lamps. In Ayurveda, castor oil is known for its powerful detoxifying and healing properties. It has traditionally been used to support digestion, relieve joint pain, and promote hair growth.

Over time, castor oil gained global recognition for its versatility in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Today, it remains a staple ingredient in hair care, skincare, and wellness products.

Distillation Process

Material Preparation: Castor seeds are harvested, cleaned, and dehulled to remove outer shells and impurities.
Heat Treatment: The seeds are gently heated to break down the oil cells and prepare them for oil release.
Steam Processing: Steam is applied to the processed seeds to help release the oil content efficiently without burning the material.
Condensation: The vapor mixture passes through a condenser, converting it back into liquid form.
Oil Separation & Storage: The oil is separated, filtered, and stored in airtight, dark containers to maintain purity and stability.
