Nautica Organic Certified-Hexane-Free-Cold Pressed-Castor Oil – 200 ml

Castor oil is made by extracting oil from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. These seeds, which are known as castor beans, contain a toxic enzyme called ricin.

Castor oil comprises a host of beneficial components including Omega 3 fatty acids, ricinoleic acid, flavonoids, Vitamin E, phenolic acids, amino acids, terpenoids and phytosterols. Castor oil is broken down in to ricinoleic acid in gut which promotes the digestion process. The ricinoleic acid is absorbed well within the skin layers and aids in maintaining healthy skin flora.

Nautica Organics Castor Oil is 100% pure, certified organic, cold-pressed and Hexane free.

Benefits of Organic Cold Pressed Castor oil.

This oil is suitable for internal and external use.

1. Helps in treating constipation
   Castor oil when taken orally is broken down in the small intestine and releases ricinoleic acid. After the ricinoleic acid is absorbed by the intestine it causes a laxative effect and increases bowel movements. But castor oil is considered safe in small doses. Taking a large amount of castor oil can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.

2. Not suitable for pregnant women. Castor oil is commonly used to induce labour, so pregnant women
   should avoid it unless otherwise instructed by a healthcare professional.
   Natural treatment for eczema and dermatitis.

3. Treats arthritis
   Cold-pressed castor oil has anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, when applied on the arthritic area it relieves pain effectively. Warm castor oil can be applied topically or castor oil pack also works effectively to treat the arthritic pain.

4. Smoothens the ageing skin
   Massaging cold-pressed castor oil on a clean face can delay the signs of ageing. It makes a protective layer on the skin and prevents the water loss of skin while keeping the skin moisture intact.

5. Treats acne and scars
   The natural antifungal and antibacterial properties of cold-pressed castor oil prevent skin from acne and lighten scars. Its SPF value also protects the skin from sunburn. When you massage the oil on the affected areas of your skin it stimulates the blood flow while providing relief from irritation.
