RICINUS COMMUNIS (CASTOR) SEED OIL

Castor oil helps soften and condition the skin while giving our formulas a rich, smooth and cushiony feel. Derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, it is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that gives castor oil its distinctive texture and skin-conditioning properties.

Ingredient PROFILE

Why your skin loves it

Castor oil acts as an emollient, helping soften rough-feeling skin and leave it feeling smoother and more conditioned. Its naturally rich consistency also enhances the sensory experience of our formulas, helping them glide comfortably across the skin and creating the plush, cushiony feel we want during application.

WHERE IT COMES FROM

Castor oil is obtained from the oil-rich seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Once the oil is extracted, it is processed for use in our formulations.

One of castor oil's defining characteristics is its naturally high concentration of ricinoleic acid. This unique fatty acid is largely responsible for the oil's characteristic thickness and helps explain why castor oil is so effective at providing both conditioning and texture in our skincare.

HOW ITS THOUGHTFULLY MADE

We value ingredients that meet our expectations for quality, consistency and thoughtful sourcing. The castor oil we use is carefully processed for cosmetic use, helping ensure the consistent quality and performance we look for in our formulations.
 

We also value working with partners that prioritize strong supplier relationships and traceability. This approach helps support greater supply-chain visibility, consistent quality and responsible sourcing.

WHY IT MATTERS

We chose castor oil because its ricinoleic-acid-rich composition gives it a naturally substantial texture while also conditioning the skin.


For us, that's what makes castor oil particularly valuable: it doesn't simply help a formula feel richer - it contributes directly to the soft, smooth and conditioned feel of skin after application.
