Castor Oil is a rich, nourishing oil that’s wonderfully moisturising, making it a great natural choice for soothing dry skin, conditioning hair and scalp, and caring for lashes and brows.

This cold pressed Castor Oil is obtained by pressing the seeds of the castor plant. Around 90% of the oil is ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated Omega 9 fatty acid, which gives castor oil its thick, velvety texture. It’s heavier than most oils, so a few drops go a long way. You can also blend it with a lighter oil such as Sweet Almond Oil to make it easier to spread.

For external use only.

Many people use castor oil to condition their lashes and brows, and its thick texture makes it easy to apply precisely.
How to apply: Use a clean spoolie or cotton bud to apply a thin layer along the brows or lash line, avoiding the eye itself.
At bedtime: A very small amount before bed, washed off in the morning, is a popular routine.
Keep it out of your eyes: If any gets in, rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Castor oil is super moisturising and nourishing. It intensively rehydrates dry, flaky skin and is perfect for targeting problem dry patches. It creates a barrier on the skin that helps prevent water loss, which is what causes dryness and flakiness.
Hands, feet and heels: Massage into dry, rough areas, then pop on Cotton Moisturising Socks overnight.
Elbows and knees: A little goes a long way on stubborn dry patches.
Lips: A very small amount can help soften dry, chapped lips.
Blend it: Mix with a lighter oil for an easy-to-spread body massage oil.
Castor oil makes a natural conditioner for hair and scalp, especially if you have a dry scalp or brittle hair. Fats like castor oil coat the hair shaft, which helps lubricate it and may reduce breakage.
Scalp massage: Warm a few drops between your fingertips and massage gently into the scalp to help soothe dryness and tightness.
Pre-wash treatment: Apply to hair and scalp (mixed with a lighter oil if you prefer) for 30 minutes or overnight, then shampoo out. You may need to shampoo twice, as it’s a thick oil.
Dry ends: Smooth a tiny amount over dry ends to soften and add shine.
Regrowth care: Gentle massage and regular conditioning help keep your scalp comfortable and your hair soft as it grows back.
How to use
Start with just a few drops, as castor oil is thick and can feel sticky. Warm it between your fingertips and massage in gently. Always patch test first by applying a small amount to your inner forearm and waiting 24 hours.
