Kohar Castor Oil

Castor oil comes from extracting the juices from the pressed seeds of the Ricinus communis plant and is composed of about 90% ricinoleic acid.

Castor oil has a rich history of being used for different purposes such as for constipation relief (if taken for that purpose, keep in mind it might cause a bit of nausea and diarrhea in the process.)

It's also commonly used on the scalp or for a deeply moisturizing treatment. Many people mix it with rosemary if putting it on the scalp. 

It has a very thick texture that can also be used to help moisturize very dry patches of skin but never put it on an open wound. It also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
