Castor Oil Description

Castor Oil (Ricinus communis) is a thick, highly emollient carrier oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the castor plant. Our Organic Hexane-Free Castor Oil is pale yellow in color and has a mild, slightly nutty aroma. Rich in ricinoleic acid, this nutrient-dense oil is valued for its ability to deeply moisturize skin and promote hair and scalp health. Its viscosity makes it an ideal base for intensive treatments, including nourishing balms, hair masks, and massage oils. Certified USDA Organic and hexane-free, this oil is versatile and suitable for sensitive applications. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness for up to 2 years.
