Nautica Organic Certified-Hexane-Free-Cold Pressed-Castor Oil – 500ml – 1 Pack

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Strong hair:

When blood circulation is improved after massaging cold-pressed castor oil on the scalp, the hair follicles open and make hair stronger from the roots. It nourishes hair and protects against microbes.

Dandruff-free scalp:

The ricinoleic acid in the cold-pressed castor oil balances the pH level of the scalp and its antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties treat the scalp from dandruff.

Thick hair:

Castor oil increases the strength of hair and protects it from breakage, split ends and hair fall. Cold-pressed castor oil penetrates the hair and makes it thicker. It is also used as a natural conditioner.

Promotes wound healing
Castor oil forms a barrier between the wound and the external environment to prevent it from getting infected. The oil also benefits by stimulating the growth of new cells and decreasing the dryness of the skin.

Thickens eyebrows and eyelashes
Castor oil makes eyelashes and eyebrows stronger so that they doesn’t break. Other than just making them stronger, regular application of cold-pressed castor oil can also grow them thicker and longer.

Heals chapped lips
Lips immediately get affected by a dry and cold environment. When lips become sore and cracked during such weather conditions castor oil works wonders. The vitamin E and moisturizer in the cold-pressed castor oil heal the cracked lips and protect it from further damage that causes burning sensation and bleeding.
