Castor oil is particularly rich in Omega-9 fatty acids called Ricinoleic Acids. These acids exhibit remarkable anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and for this reason, in recent years, castor oil has become especially popular for treating serious skin conditions such as acne.
At the same time, castor oil is a first-class moisturizing product, as it has the ability to "trap" the skin's moisture, preventing dehydration and premature aging.
