Wood pressed castor oil is a type of oil that is extracted from the seeds of the castor plant using a traditional method of pressing. Unlike refined castor oil, which is processed with high heat and chemicals, wood pressed castor oil retains its natural nutrients and antioxidants. Wood pressed castor oil has many benefits for the skin, hair and health, such as moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. It can also help with constipation, arthritis, menstrual cramps and immune system support.
