The big difference between ordinary castor oil and JBCO is in the manufacturing process. While castor oil is made by cold-pressing the castor beans to produce a distinctive yellow liquid, with JBCO the beans are first roasted. This produces a darker bean with some ash which is then pressed or boiled, creating a luxurious brown or close to a black, thick oil. The ash found in JBCO creates a beauty product that has a higher, more alkaline pH that is better for the skin and hair.
