Beaver oil is found in many articles and videos and is promoted as highly effective for growing hair and eyelashes. Is it true? Before answering, let us briefly describe its characteristics.
Castor oil is a non-aromatic vegetable oil widely used in cosmetics. It is obtained from the seeds of the plant ricinus communis and is widely known as castor oil. In its pure state, castor oil is an emollient that has emollient, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Being a source of ricinoleic acid, for castor oil applied topically to the skin there are studies that support its anti-microbial properties in acne prone skin. It is also a source of fatty acids making it a relaxing (last in routine) step for anyone who prefers oils in the skin routine. It is also classified as a non-comedogenic oil that does not clog skin pores. It is a very good option to use even on the skin of the body, especially in rough skin areas.
Despite these, studies on the topical use of castor oil as an active ingredient in the skin have been few. That said, it is totally okay to use it as the last step of your skin routine if you like skin oils but should not have castor oil focus on treating acne or hydrating the skin.
Përsa i përket pyetjes kryesore. A t’i rrit vërtet vaji i kastorit vetullat, flokët dhe qerpikët? Jo, nuk t’i rrit. Ka zero studime që provojnë këtë lloj stimulimi. Dua të përmend se qarkullojnë shumë artikuj, jo të vërtetë, se si vaji i kastorit stimulon rritjen e flokëve, qerpikëve dhe vetullave. Por, ndërkohë që vaji i kastorit nuk do të na rrisë vetullat, flokët dhe qerpikët – është totalisht okej ta përdorësh atë për të zbutur aoket dhe për të rritur fleksibilitetin e fibrës së flokëve. Gjithashtu, falë vetive anti-mikrobiale, ndihmon në shëndetin e skalpit.
