Maven Organic Jamaican Black Castor Oil - 100mL

Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) is a versatile natural remedy made from roasted castor beans. Known for its dark color and thick consistency, it promotes hair growth, moisturizes skin, and treats scalp conditions. Its anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties make it ideal for various beauty and wellness applications.

Hair and Scalp Care

• Promotes Hair Growth: Encourages thicker, fuller hair by stimulating blood circulation to the scalp.
• Moisturizes Dry Hair: Its high fatty acid content provides deep hydration, reducing hair dryness and brittleness.
• Treats Scalp Conditions: Has antifungal and antibacterial properties that help address dandruff and itchy scalp issues.
• Prevents Hair Breakage: Strengthens hair strands, reducing split ends and breakage.

Induces Labor 

Black castor oil induces labor through its laxative effect, which stimulates the intestines and, in turn, the uterus. Here’s how it works:

1. Ricinoleic Acid: The primary active compound in castor oil interacts with prostaglandin receptors in the uterus, promoting uterine contractions.
2. Intestinal Stimulation: Castor oil’s laxative properties cause bowel movements, which can lead to uterine stimulation due to the close proximity of the intestines to the uterus.
3. Reflex Action: This stimulation may trigger reflex contractions, potentially initiating labor in full-term pregnancies.

Caution: Castor oil should only be used under medical supervision as a method to induce labor, as it can cause side effects like diarrhea, dehydration, and cramping, which may pose risks to the mother and baby.

Wellness

• Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Ricinoleic acid reduces inflammation by suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators, making it effective for soothing irritated skin, relieving joint and muscle pain, and calming conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
• Antifungal Properties: Its natural antifungal agents combat fungal infections such as dandruff, athlete’s foot, and ringworm, helping to restore scalp and skin health.
