In cosmetics, castor oil has been widely used in the manufacture of lipsticks, hair preparations, bath oils, eyelash products, and emulsions. The consistency it provides makes it highly valued for all these preparations. We must also consider the previously mentioned properties of castor oil, such as antiseptic and analgesic (along with essential oils, which are anti-inflammatory and analgesic for rheumatism, for example). It is also recommended in body and hair oil preparations (scalp lotions for hair loss and split ends), as well as in facial and body serums for hyperpigmentation, along with other essential and plant oils.
