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.

A decent lip moisturizer. Didn't moisturize that much, but it traps the moisture on your lips. Not very effective when applying it on a dry lip, but you can try drinking water before applying this or apply some toner on your lips

Didn't stop my cracked dry lips from bleeding but at least I didn't feel any irritation from using this product. It does make my lips feel less dry after applying this but only around 2 hours at most. Once it dries up, however, you'll find yourself craving to put this on again to remove the dry feeling of the lips.
