Where does it come from?
Castor oil is obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, which is native to tropical regions of Africa and India. Today, castor oil is produced in various parts of the world, with India being one of the largest exporters. The oil is extracted from the seeds and then impurities are drawn out, creating a clear or pale yellow oil with a distinctive thick consistency.
