Castor oil, also called ricinus oil, is a type of oil extracted from castor beans, the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. The seeds are pressed to collect and create castor oil. The finished product contains eight different fatty acids, including a high concentration of ricinoleic acid.
In regular castor oil, the castor plant seeds are cold-pressed, resulting in a light yellow oil. To make Jamaican black castor oil, producers roast the castor beans before pressing them. Roasting gives Jamaican black castor oil a darker color and a higher pH value.
Jamaican black castor oil has high viscosity, high solubility in alcohols and excellent lubricating and conditioning properties. Black castor oil has grown in popularity due to its benefits, including enhanced antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
