Castor Oil
Castor Oil (Ricinus communis)
Our cold pressed Castor oil is 100% pure and natural, extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Renowned for its wide range of cosmetic and therapeutic applications, Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid known for its nourishing, healing, and anti-inflammatory properties. This premium-quality, cold pressed Castor oil is suitable for hair, skin, and wellness routines, offering multi-purpose benefits backed by traditional use and modern research.
Castor seed oil is thick, warm, and sweet—an excellent natural remedy for constipation and dry stools when used internally. It also supports the movement of the lymphatic system and can be used to relieve muscle spasms and arthritic pain when applied as a warm compress.
Key Benefits of Castor Oil:
-
Hair Care: Castor oil promotes stronger, thicker hair by deeply conditioning the scalp and hair follicles. It supports hair growth, reduces breakage, and treats dandruff while leaving the scalp healthy and moisturized.
-
Skin Care: Pure Castor oil forms a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental damage. It’s rich in antioxidants, helps heal wounds, reduces inflammation, and soothes dry, itchy conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
-
Cosmetic Uses: Its natural emulsifying properties make it a valuable ingredient in creams, lotions, soaps, and massage oils. Non-comedogenic and suitable for all skin types.
-
Medicinal Properties: Traditionally used as a natural laxative. Please consult a healthcare professional before internal use. It may also help stimulate lymphatic movement and ease muscle and joint discomfort.
How to Use Castor Oil:
-
Hair Oil Treatment: Warm slightly and massage into the scalp. Leave for a few hours or overnight before washing off.
-
Skin Moisturizer: Apply a few drops to clean skin to hydrate and soothe dryness or irritation.
-
DIY Products: Use as a carrier oil in homemade cosmetics like lip balms, body butters, or cleansing oils.
-
Compress for Pain Relief: Soak a piece of flannel or cotton cloth in warm Castor oil. Apply to the affected area (e.g., joints or muscles), cover with plastic wrap, and place a hot water bottle or heating pad on top for 30–60 minutes. It may help relieve spasms, reduce arthritic pain, and support lymphatic drainage.
