Organic Castor Oil - Glass Bottle

100% cold pressed organic castor oil

Organic Castor Oil is safe to use directly on the skin.

Face:
Apply a small amount directly to your skin. For a refreshing boost or to help reduce dark circles and pigmentation, apply a thicker layer and leave it on for about an hour before washing and moisturising as usual.

For daily use, you can dilute it 50/50 with a carrier oil:

• Apricot Kernel Oil – ideal for mature skin
  
• Jojoba Oil – perfect for acne-prone or blemished skin
  
• Sweet Almond Oil – suitable for all skin types
  

Body:
You can use castor oil directly on the skin, but be aware that it may stain clothing or sheets. For the best results, smooth it over the desired area and cover with one of our organic wraps. This helps the oil absorb deeply, allowing you to wear it for extended periods or even overnight.

Deep Moisturisation

Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. It helps lock in moisture, keeping the skin soft, supple, and smooth without feeling greasy when used sparingly.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone

Regular use can help reduce pigmentation, dark spots, and under-eye circles thanks to its natural ability to boost circulation and encourage skin renewal. This leaves your complexion looking brighter and more even-toned.

Supports Collagen and Elasticity

Castor oil helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining youthful, firm skin. It can help soften fine lines and improve skin texture over time.

Soothes Inflammation and Redness

With its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, castor oil can calm irritated or sensitive skin. It’s often used to soothe minor acne, sunburn, or redness caused by dryness or sensitivity.

Helps Clear Breakouts

Despite being an oil, castor oil has antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria. It also helps balance sebum production, making it beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin when used in moderation.

Waist & Abdomen

• Detoxifying and cleansing: When massaged onto the abdomen and covered with a warm wrap, castor oil helps support natural detoxification by stimulating lymphatic flow and improving digestion.
  
• Eases bloating: Its anti-inflammatory properties may relieve abdominal discomfort, cramps, or water retention.
  
• Supports hormonal balance: Regular use over the lower abdomen is traditionally used to help balance hormones and ease menstrual discomfort.
  

Sore Joints & Muscles

• Reduces inflammation: The high ricinoleic acid content in castor oil helps reduce inflammation in achy joints and sore muscles.
  
• Soothes stiffness: Applying it warm and wrapping the area promotes relaxation and flexibility in stiff joints.
  
• Natural pain relief: Its deep-penetrating action provides gentle relief for arthritis, muscle strain, and overworked limbs.
  

Skin Texture

• Boosts circulation: Massaging castor oil into areas prone to cellulite helps improve blood flow and lymphatic drainage, encouraging smoother-looking skin.
  
• Improves elasticity: Regular application softens and firms the skin by supporting collagen production.
  

Back & Neck

• Relieves tension: When massaged into the back and neck, castor oil’s warming and anti-inflammatory effects can ease tight muscles and tension.
  
• Supports deep relaxation: Ideal for use before bedtime — encourages calmness, reduces stress, and helps you unwind.
  
• Improves circulation: Encourages healthy blood flow to muscles and tissues, aiding recovery and comfort.

People with Sensitive or Allergic Skin

• If you have very sensitive skin or a history of allergic reactions to oils or botanical extracts, patch-test before using castor oil.

Patch test tip: Apply a small amount to your inner arm or behind the ear and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas.

Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women

• Castor oil should not be used internally during pregnancy, as it can stimulate uterine contractions.

People with Skin Conditions or Open Wounds

• Avoid using castor oil on broken skin, open cuts, or infections.

Individuals with Certain Medical Conditions

• If you have chronic skin inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or severe acne, castor oil might aggravate symptoms in some cases.
• Always discuss with a dermatologist before incorporating it into your routine.

Infants and Young Children

• Castor oil is too strong for delicate baby skin and can cause irritation. Choose gentler oils like coconut or sweet almond oil instead.
