Organic Castor Oil

Organic castor blending oil is a versatile and nutrient-rich oil that has been trusted for centuries for its well-known health and wellbeing benefits. 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. Top Tip: Massage a small amount of castor oil into your nails and cuticles daily to promote healthy nail growth. Organic castor blending oil is derived from the seeds of the castor plant Ricinus communis, which is native to Africa and India but is now grown worldwide. It has a rich and ancient history spanning thousands of years, beginning in ancient Egypt, where it was used for medicinal purposes and skin care. It has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine for its laxative and skin healing properties and is still used today in holistic medicine and health and wellbeing products such as cosmetics, soaps and hair products. *Take care when using castor oil on eyebrows and eyelashes.
