Is this a pure castor oil? What does '100% Ricinus communis seed oil' mean?

The product is described as 100% Ricinus communis seed oil, which means it is pure castor oil with no added fragrance or other ingredients. This makes it a simple, single-ingredient cosmetic oil that is easy to incorporate into a routine.

Castor oil is known for its high content of ricinoleic acid, an uncommon hydroxy fatty acid that gives the oil its thick, cushiony texture. This texture is why it forms a protective layer on the skin and hair, helping to slow water loss and leaving the surface more supple. The oil does not “repair” hair from within, but it can improve softness, shine, and manageability when used consistently.

Because there is no fragrance or blend, the oil has its natural scent and colour, which can vary slightly from batch to batch. This is normal for a pure plant oil. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep it stable. If you have a known allergy to castor oil or to Ricinus communis, do not use this product.
