Praan Naturals Black Castor Oil

For centuries, Black Castor Oil has been claimed to be the secret to thick, luxurious, shiny hair in Africa and Jamaica. Although it is extracted from the same castor seeds as pale pressed castor oil, Praan Naturals Black Castor Oil is authentically produced by roasting the castor seeds prior to grinding. The seeds are then boiled to extract the dark oil. Roasting the seeds increases the ash content and lends a rich, dark hue to the oil. No solvents or chemicals are used to produce Praan Naturals Black Castor Oil. After production, Praan Naturals Black Castor Oil is then carefully packaged and stored to maintain the purity, freshness and beneficial properties of this nutritive oil.
