Masking, Perfuming, Skin Conditioning

Ricinus Communis Seed Oil is the INCI name for castor oil.

Castor Oil helps moisturize the skin. It is rich in a fatty acid called ricinoleic acid. This fatty acid helps prevent moisture loss on the skin. This helps keep your skin soft and hydrated. Ricinoleic acid also has anti-inflammatory and pain reducing properties.

Besides hydrating the skin, castor oil is also used to hydrate hair. By keeping the hair shaft moisturized, breakage is decreased. More studies are needed to show castor oil's effective on stimulating hair growth.

Castor oil is created by cold-pressing castor seeds and then purifying the oil with heat. It was used in Ancient Egypt as fuel in lamps and to help treat eye irritation.

The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term. For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance.

It’s an “ok” product, it’s like very tinted balm. Keeps your lips hydrated for few hours, and gives it a nice touch of color. However the color black honey makes my lips personally look thinner than they are…. And the pink one isn’t my color at all.
For that price and color choices, I can’t even rate it at 4 stars. I saw also recently a rave about it on TikTok but you better off buying a good Show more

I'm obsessed with this color...
the combination of black honey + a lip liner close to one's natural lip color can look perfect on anyone with any skin tone imo.
I have neutral to cold undertones and my sister has warm undertones. the color looks different but nice on both of us.
sometimes I like to wear Fenty Gloss Bomb in Hot Chocolit on top of it, the combo is a perfect brown shade!
