Q: Castor oil has been used for centuries—what makes it so special?
A: Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid that gives it remarkable anti-inflammatory and deeply moisturizing properties. For thousands of years, it’s been used in traditional remedies to support skin healing, hair growth, and even digestive health. Its versatility and effectiveness have made it one of nature’s most enduring wellness oils.
Q: Can I use castor oil every day?
A: Yes. Castor oil is safe for daily use on skin, hair, lashes, and brows. Because it is very thick, we recommend applying sparingly or mixing with a lighter carrier oil if desired.
Q: Is your castor oil hexane-free?
A: Absolutely. Our oil is cold-pressed and certified organic, with no hexane or chemical solvents ever used.
Q: Can castor oil really help lashes and brows grow?
A: While results vary from person to person, castor oil is widely used to condition and strengthen hair follicles. Consistent use can improve the look of fuller, healthier lashes and brows by keeping the delicate hairs nourished and hydrated.
Q: How is castor oil different from other carrier oils?
A: Castor oil has a uniquely thick, viscous texture and a high concentration of ricinoleic acid, setting it apart from lighter oils like jojoba or almond. This makes it especially effective for deep moisture, protective packs, and scalp treatments.
Q: What’s the best way to apply castor oil to the scalp or hair?
A: Warm a few drops in your hands, massage into the scalp, and distribute through ends. Leave on for at least 30 minutes (or overnight under a cap), then shampoo thoroughly. Many customers like to blend it with a lighter oil for easier application.
Q: Does castor oil have a scent?
A: Pure, organic castor oil is virtually odorless, with only a mild, earthy aroma. There are no added fragrances or synthetic ingredients.
