Castor Oil, or Ricinus Oil, is derived from the oil of the Ricinus communis plant's seeds (castor beans). It is a multipurpose non-volatile fatty vegetable oil that contains a toxic enzyme called ricin. It appears to be a translucent liquid with a hint of yellow. It has a mild and distinct odour that has a bland but slightly acrid taste that commonly has a nauseating aftertaste.

Castor oil has a wide range of industrial, medicinal, and pharmaceutical uses. The most significant component of the oil is a type of fatty acid called ricinoleic acid, which possesses anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, it has a very strong stimulative laxative property.
