Natural ingredients may vary in colour and consistency.

(Dark Yellow, Brown/Black Colour)

Benefits: Hydrates, moisturises and softens skin and hair. Castor oil contains vitamins and minerals which provide nutrition to hair follicles and is rich in Vitamin E and omega 6 essential fatty acids including ricinoleic acid. These acids are thought to increase absorption and promote the retention of moisture into the skin and hair as Castor oil is also a humectant.

Castor oil is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and helps to soothe skin conditions including dermatitis, psoriasis, and acne. It is helpful in restoring uneven skin tones and has a low comedogenic score. This means that it is unlikely to clog pores in the skin and reduces the risk of developing blackheads, making it a suitable oil for use on sensitive skin and scalp conditions.

Locally Adedenkruma (Ghanaian Castor Oil) is used to heal dandruff and grow thicker, longer hair.

Suitable for all skin & hair types particularly those with dry skin.

Caution: A patch test is recommended and if irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
