For untold generations caster oil has been getting used on the massive dark continent of Africa where it’s has always grown wild. This of course means that it’s indigenous to Africa and in fact it’s been used there for thousands of years. Then about 400 to 500 years ago it was carried to Jamaica by boat by plantation workers.
Now it’s common knowledge that castor oil has many medicinal uses in western societies and you or someone you know may have already used it. It makes a great laxative. Even so, its fantastic for skin care and a low molecular weight is the reason. A low molecular weight means small molecules, and small molecules pass easily through the skins surface layer.
Surprisingly this unique oil that is in fact pure and natural, is still made by many companies the same way that it always has been. First the beans are gathered in woven baskets then they’re left out to dry. The next step is to roast then grind the beans into a fine powder the oil itself is pressed from. Roasting it gives it the dark color.
So now you may be wondering if the clear castor oil is the same thing as the darker type. The fact is that while they both do come from the castor bean, the darker oil contains ash from the roasting process. So what difference does the ash make? The difference you see, is that dark oil with ash is far better for hair, and skin treatment.
Understand that ash contains its own beneficial chemical substances and not only that but ash has a ph number higher than 7, and this means that it effectively neutralizes acids that can harm skin, and hair. Still one more thing to keep in mind, is that the FDA has approved this oil for use, and it is hypoallergenic.
Now the word hypoallergenic doesn’t mean that you can’t have an allergic reaction to a product that’s labeled as so. Instead the word hypoallergenic simply means that it has been tested and a determination has been officially made by an accredited test group that it has a very low incidence of allergic reaction.
