Castor oil is an excellent natural moisturiser that provides deep hydration and helps create a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture. The oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly ricinoleic acid, which enhances skin’s moisture retention and promotes a smooth, soft complexion. Its soothing properties make it perfect for nourishing dry, flaky skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Castor oil also helps balance oil production, making it a beneficial addition to skincare routines for those with oily or combination skin. This versatile oil is also great for hair and scalp care. Castor oil can deeply moisturise hair, adding shine and smoothness whilst preventing dryness and flakiness on the scalp. The essential fatty acids in castor oil nourish hair follicles, contributing to the overall appearance of healthy, strong hair. Castor oil can also be applied with a small brush or spoolie to the eyebrows and eyelashes to enhance their natural appearance or to nails and cuticles to maintain strength, hydration and a healthy look. Castor oil is also known for therapeutic uses. It can be massaged into areas of joint and muscle discomfort to provide a soothing effect. Traditionally, it has been used in practices that aim to support digestive wellness by applying a castor oil pack (a cloth soaked in castor oil covered by a towel, with the option of adding a hot water bottle on top) over the abdomen; this is also believed to provide comfort during bloating and menstrual cycles. Ingredients 100% Pure Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil The Organic Castor Blending Oil originates from India, where it is harvested by rural farming communities. It’s extracted by cold pressing organic castor seeds to produce a thick light yellow oil.
