Although you may have heard about castor oil from your mother and grandmothers, if you do not know all the benefits of this natural ingredient of ancient tradition, this interests you. Also known as castor oil, castor oil in English, comes from the fruit of a shrub known as Palma Christi, and is easy to recognize for its pink and spiked seeds.

We discovered all the details, properties and uses that can be given to this fruit in terms of beauty thanks to the book An Atlas of Natural Beauty (Simon & Schuster), by Victoire de Taillac and Ramdane Touhami, a bible of natural ingredients, history and beauty that you should have in your library if you love the most traditional beauty.

One of the most popular uses for castor oil is in the hair. And it is that its high content of rinoleic acid, a highly viscous fatty acid that is great for keeping hair hydrated and strong and also has the power to reduce inflammation like few others. It also has a lot of vitamin E that helps your cells fight oxidative stress.

How to use? As recommended by the two experts in natural beauty, it is as simple as applying it directly to the skin with gauze and leaving it to act overnight. If you are going to use it to stimulate the growth of eyelashes or eyebrows, you can smear well a used eyebrow brush or mascara (but very clean and without makeup residues) and apply it on eyebrows and eyelashes every night. You will see what change!
