Castor Oil  100ml Rich in ricinoleic acid (a fatty acid)

Castor Oil is a vegetable oil made from castor beans. Castor Oil is commonly used to moisturise hair and skin. No added preservatives. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Castor Oil (from Ricinus communis seeds) is a thick, pale yellow oil known for its powerful moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and laxative properties. It has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, traditional medicine, and modern skincare.


Top Benefits of Castor Oil

🌿 1. Skin Health

  • Deep moisturizer: Rich in ricinoleic acid (a fatty acid), it hydrates dry skin and locks in moisture.

  • Anti-inflammatory: Reduces redness, swelling, and irritation (useful for dermatitis and sunburn).

  • Antimicrobial: Helps prevent bacterial infections on wounds and acne-prone skin.

  • Scar and stretch mark reduction: May improve skin elasticity and fade blemishes over time.

🌿 2. Hair and Scalp

  • Promotes hair growth: Increases blood flow to hair follicles when massaged onto scalp.

  • Strengthens strands: Prevents breakage and split ends.

  • Fights dandruff: Antifungal and moisturizing properties relieve scalp dryness and flaking.

  • Thickens eyebrows and eyelashes: Applied with a spoolie or cotton bud.

🌿 3. Constipation Relief

  • Natural stimulant laxative: Taken orally (in small doses), it stimulates bowel movement by increasing muscle contractions in the intestines.

    • ⚠️ Use only under guidance — overuse can cause cramping and dehydration.

🌿 4. Joint and Muscle Pain Relief

  • Applied topically or as a castor oil pack on joints or abdomen, it may reduce inflammation in arthritis or muscle pain.

🌿 5. Wound Healing

  • Keeps wounds moist, reduces dryness and cracking, and may promote faster tissue regeneration.

🌿 6. Anti-Fungal & Antibacterial Uses

  • Effective against fungal skin infections, athlete’s foot, or minor wounds due to undecylenic acid (a breakdown product of ricinoleic acid).

🌿 7. Menstrual Pain Relief

  • Traditional use: warm castor oil packs placed on the lower abdomen to ease cramps.


🧴 How to Use

  • Topical: Apply directly or mix with carrier oils (like coconut or olive oil).

  • Hair: Use as a scalp massage oil or overnight hair mask.

  • Castor oil packs: Soak flannel, place on skin, cover with plastic wrap, and apply gentle heat.

  • Oral: Only food-grade castor oil, and only in small, guided doses for constipation (usually 1–2 teaspoons for adults).
