Because of the roasting process, there are traces of ash in the castor oil that intensifies the effectiveness of the product. The oil has a darker, deeper color, and a richer, earthier aroma. The ash in the oil tends to make it more alkaline, and the higher pH can help clarify the scalp and remove impurities that clog pores. The oil is also rich in Omega-6 and -9 fatty acids, ricinoleic acid, all of which provide much-needed nutrients and anti-inflammatory properties to the skin.
