Caution
The plant Ricinus communis is used to produce castor oil (castor bean). It has been used internally as a cathartic (stimulating laxative) and to induce childbirth since ancient Egyptian times. It has been used topically as a wound healer, anti-inflammatory agent, and detoxifier.
Castor oil, which includes ricinoleic acid, a moisturising fatty acid, is most typically used topically to skin and hair for possible cosmetic benefits ranging from glowing skin to hair development.
