Organic Egyptian Castor Oil
Used therapeutically since ancient times, castor oil has incredible healing abilities. Known as "Palma Christi" or "Hand of Christ," Castor oil is a Triglyceride comprised of fatty acids, 90 percent of which is ricinoleic acid - thought to be responsible for castor oil's unique healing abilities. Castor oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and is high in skin healing vitamin E and omega 6 & 9.
It is an excellent skin emollient and even helps with skin upsets like dermatitis, which can cause severely rough, dry skin.
