Our Castor oil is extracted through a cold-pressing method, which ensures that the oil retains all its natural goodness. The oil is extracted from organically grown Ricinus communis seeds, which are then carefully filtered to remove any excess debris. This results in a clear, golden-yellow oil with a light aroma that is pure and safe for use.
Castor Oil is known for its highly emollient properties, which make it an excellent moisturizer and skin softener. Its unique composition allows it to penetrate deep into the skin layers, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin from within. The oil also serves as a great humectant, which means it helps to retain moisture and prevent water loss from the skin.
In addition to its emollient properties, Castor Oil is also known for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This makes it an ideal oil for use with various skin conditions, including blepharitis. In a recent Randomized Controlled Trial published on PubMed, Castor Oil was found to be effective with blepharitis when used as a topical periocular treatment. The trial used Castor Oil that was purchased anonymously from Lotus Garden Botanicals.
Blepharitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the eyelids, leading to redness, irritation, and itchiness, accompanied by dandruff-like scales that form on the eyelashes. Symptoms of blepharitis can include burning, soreness, or stinging in the eyes, crusty eyelashes, and itchy eyelids. Castor Oil's anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties make it an excellent choice for treating blepharitis and other similar conditions.
The conclusion of this trial found that "topical castor oil application effected significant improvements in ocular surface signs and symptoms in patients with blepharitis. The favorable therapeutic profile would suggest that castor oil demonstrates promise as a potential treatment for blepharitis and support the conduct of further efficacy trials with longer follow-up."
