A thick, multi-purpose carrier oil
This organic castor oil is cold-pressed and bottled without synthetic additives — a steady favourite of the cosmetic and aromatherapy world for good reason. The texture is denser and stickier than most carrier oils, which is what gives it its characteristic staying power on the skin, the scalp and on lashes and brows. A 100 ml bottle goes a long way because only a few drops are needed at a time.
How to use it
For very dry patches of skin, warm a few drops between the fingertips and gently massage in. For massage blends, dilute with a lighter oil such as sweet almond or jojoba, then add essential oils to taste. On the hair, work a small amount into the scalp before bed and shampoo out in the morning for a deeper conditioning effect. For brows and lashes, dip a clean spoolie and brush carefully through, avoiding the eye itself.
What to keep in mind
If you have not used castor oil before, test a small area first to make sure your skin is comfortable with it. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place to protect the oil from light and heat, and close the cap properly between uses to keep the contents fresh.
