It is found in all tropical and sub-tropical countries and is the major producer among all. The oil is filtered and steamed to remove ricin a toxic component in the oil that causes rancidity of the oil. Effects on hair: Castor oil is popular as hair oil, with the following actions:

- Nourishing effect – The fatty acids have very good penetrability and may provide nourishment to the hair follicle[15]
- Germicidal and fungicidal effect – Ricin and ricinoleic acid present in the oil protects the scalp and the shaft of the hair from fungal and microbial infections[15]
- In androgenetic alopecia – Ricinoleic acid has been shown to penetrate skin and act as an inhibitor of prostaglandin D2 synthase (PGD2). Ricinoleic acid has a two-dimensional structure, which is very similar to the prostaglandin family and has also been demonstrated to have some degree of effect on hair growth.[16]
