Castor Oil 16oz
Castor Oil is rich in nutrients like Omega 3 fatty acids, flavonoids, ricinoleic acid, Vitamin E, phenolic acids, amino acids, terpenoids, and phytosterols. It is important to note that our castor oil is COLD PRESSED (never expeller pressed), retaining more of the oil's natural nutrients. Think of it as the difference between raw and cooked.
Our oil contains over 92% ricinoleic acid, which allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin layers. Unlike most castor oils that contain around 80% ricinoleic acid and do not specify their content percentage.
Healing Benefits
-
Hair Growth & Scalp Health: Ricinoleic acid stimulates blood flow to hair follicles, potentially promoting growth and thickness in thinning areas like edges or eyebrows. Nourishes dry scalps, reduces dandruff, and strengthens hair, minimizing breakage and split ends.
-
Skin Moisturization & Healing: Acts as a humectant, locking in moisture to soothe dry, irritated skin and conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Its antimicrobial properties may reduce acne-causing bacteria, while antioxidants fade scars and hyperpigmentation.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Support: Ricinoleic acid reduces inflammation, easing muscle soreness, joint pain, or menstrual cramps when used topically or as a castor oil pack (soaked cloth applied to abdomen).
-
Nail & Cuticle Care: Strengthens brittle nails and softens cuticles, promoting healthier nail growth with regular application.
Suggested Uses:
Scalp Massage: Warm 1-2 tsp of castor oil, massage into scalp for 5-10 minutes 2-3 times weekly, and leave for 1 hour or overnight before shampooing to boost growth and hydration. Pair with Yellow Unrefined Shea Butter (previously described) for enhanced conditioning.
Eyebrow/Lash Serum: Apply a small amount with a clean mascara wand nightly to thicken brows or lashes, rinsing off in the morning.
Leave-In Treatment: Use sparingly on hair ends to seal moisture and reduce frizz, similar to Batana Oil (previously described).
Skincare: Apply a thin layer to dry areas (hands, feet) or use as a facial cleanser in the oil-cleansing method to remove impurities without stripping natural oils.
Castor Oil Pack: Soak a cloth in warm castor oil, apply to the abdomen or sore areas, cover with plastic wrap, and add a heating pad for 30-60 minutes to reduce inflammation or support digestion. Try our own Castor Oil Wrap!
