Extra virgin castor oil, unrefined

CASTOR OIL

In Benin, castor grows wild and is considered a weed. We have trained young people and groups of women who harvest them. Even though it is a seasonal activity, it provides income to its underprivileged layers and allows us to produce this magnificent castor oil, totally natural without pesticide residues and fair trade.

Castor oil very rich in ricinoleic acid, violent alkaloid particularly purgative and laxative. Castor oil is used in cosmetology, pharmacology and the chemical industry.
