Castor Oil – Organic | Protective, Conditioning, and Multi-Purpose Emollient

Pressed from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, Organic Castor Oil is one of the most versatile and widely used oils in natural formulation. Renowned for its rich emollient texture, this hexane-free oil forms a protective barrier on the skin and delivers lasting hydration.

Highly sought after in both skincare and haircare, Castor Oil’s unique composition of ricinoleic acid gives it powerful humectant properties—drawing and sealing in moisture while softening the skin and scalp. Its natural gloss and conditioning effects also make it a staple in soaps, salves, and lash or brow serums.
