Description

Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) is a type of castor oil that is made from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis), specifically from beans that are roasted, crushed, and then boiled to extract the oil. This traditional extraction method gives Black Castor Oil its distinct dark color and potent properties. The roasting process also imparts a smoky scent and enhances the oil’s therapeutic qualities, particularly in promoting hair growth, conditioning the scalp, and moisturizing the skin.

Castor oil is particularly popular in Caribbean countries, especially , and has been used for centuries due to its wide range of benefits for hair, skin, and overall health. It is rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that plays a crucial role in its nourishing and healing properties.
