I am a vegetable oil with powerful therapeutic properties derived from the beans of the castor plant. When combined with essential oils I am ideal for massages. For centuries I have been used for my anti inflammatory properties for the skin. I am effective in relieving you from pain from arthritis and rheumatism. Use me in your head & scalp massage to give your hair a lustrous shine. I am an ideal natural skin tonic to keep your skin soft supple and beautiful. CAUTION: Those with nut allergies should not apply or use.
