Castor oil has been used for centuries to promote skin health. 

Its high concentrations of ricinoleic acid enable the oil to penetrate deep into the dermis of your skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting youthful-looking skin and hair, while also benefiting detox, comfort and digestion. Castor oil’s ability to penetrate deep into your skin and tissues enables the oil to enter into your circulatory and lymphatic systems – this is why it is beneficial for detox, digestion or pain. Dolphin Clinic Castor Oil is organic, cold pressed and hexane free, for maximum benefits!
