Castor Oil (Ricinus communis)

Castor Oil is a treasured natural remedy with a rich history spanning thousands of years. This powerful carrier oil has been used since ancient times, from Egyptian beauty rituals to traditional Ayurvedic medicine in India, and remains one of the most versatile oils for hair care, skin nourishment, and natural wellness.

Pure Cold-Pressed Quality

Our Castor Oil is obtained through cold-pressing the seeds of Ricinus communis, a plant native to India. This mechanical extraction method preserves the oil’s natural properties without heat or chemical processing, ensuring you receive the full spectrum of beneficial compounds nature intended.

The oil’s distinctive thick, viscous texture and pale yellow colour come from its unique fatty acid composition. Castor Oil contains 85-95% ricinoleic acid—a rare monounsaturated fatty acid found in few other natural sources. This exceptional concentration of ricinoleic acid gives Castor Oil its powerful therapeutic properties and makes it unlike any other carrier oil.

Traditional Uses Meet Modern Applications

Historically utilized as a purgative in Ayurvedic medicine, Castor Oil’s applications have expanded dramatically. Today, it’s celebrated for its emollient properties, making it invaluable for moisturizing skin, strengthening hair, and supporting overall wellness. DIY beauty enthusiasts, professional formulators, and natural health practitioners alike rely on Castor Oil’s proven benefits.

Whether you’re creating custom hair treatments, nourishing dry skin, formulating natural cosmetics, or exploring therapeutic applications, our pure cold-pressed Castor Oil delivers consistent quality you can trust.
