CASTOR OIL OR CARAPATE OIL?
Castor oil and Carapate oil are vegetable oils obtained from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis), which grows mainly in India and North America on a small shrub: the carapatier. These two oils have the same chemical composition and the same properties. Their difference comes from the extraction process.

Castor oil, also called ricin oil or castor oil, is extracted by cold pressing of castor seeds before being refined.



Carapate oil, also known as black castor oil, jamaican black castor oil or palma christi, is extracted by hot-pressing, after roasting castor seeds, which are particularly rich in ricin. This is how it obtains its dark color and its smell of roasted coffee/hazelnut.
