Castor Oil
Castor oil is a thick oil extracted from castor beans. It's scentless, making this an ideal oil if you're fragrance-sensitive, or have plans to mix it with other ingredients that have more of an aroma.
Castor oil is really moisturizing for your skin, hair, and even on the scalp. However, because of castor oil's viscosity, it can be hard for your skin to absorb. Mixing it with another oil (like coconut oil) can help your skin achieve maximum moisturization.
Its fragrance-free nature makes castor oil one of the most ideal carriers for essential oils, especially those that have a subtle fragrance themselves. Castor oil will help make your favorite essential oil the star of the show!
