Experience the versatility of pure cosmetic-grade Castor Oil, a natural, cold-pressed vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Known for its rich texture and glossy finish, this oil serves as an ideal base ingredient for skincare, haircare, and DIY cosmetic formulations. It is a popular choice among formulators for soaps, creams, balms, and serums due to its stable consistency and natural emollient properties.

Castor Oil Uses:

Aromatherapy
Castor oil can be used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils for aromatherapy. Its moisturizing properties help create a calming environment and improve overall relaxation.

Diffuser
While castor oil is not typically used directly in diffusers, it can act as a base when blended with essential oils like lavender or eucalyptus to spread soothing fragrances throughout your space.

Massage
Dilute castor oil with coconut or jojoba oil for body massages. This helps relieve muscle soreness, joint pain, and general body fatigue, especially after exercise or yoga.

Lip Care
Castor oil’s thick consistency makes it an excellent ingredient for homemade lip balms. It moisturizes and protects the lips from drying out.

Skin Care
Apply castor oil to dry skin for deep moisture and as a natural remedy for minor irritations or acne, leaving the skin refreshed and renewed.

Treat Skin Conditions
Use castor oil to help with minor skin conditions such as rashes, dryness, or redness. Its emollient properties promote healing and skin renewal.
Caution: It is intended for external use only.
