Himani Singh, Himani Karnani, Minakshi Pandey

Abstract


The study looks into the role of castor oil and facial serum in twenty first century skincare, focusing on each individually as well as combined advantages for skin health. Facial serums are typically made with a crucial type of active ingredients which mostly are designed to target particular skin concerns such dryness, acne, pigmentation, and aging. Castor oil is a natural oil made from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant and has been used for generations because of its anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and medicinal properties. The study investigates the scientific mechanisms underlying their effectiveness by examining the composition, absorption, and interactions of both products with skin cells. The study also compares the benefits of plant-based oils, like castor oil, with chemical-based serums regarding efficacy, safety, and long-term skin health. Also, the potential best advantages of combining face serums with castor oil for rejuvenation are investigated. This review's main objective is to give customers more information about how castor oil can also help with most skin problems and contribute to healthy, radiant, and soothing skin so they can make informed judgments about their skincare routines.
