FEATURES AND BENEFITS 

Impressive Nutrient Profile: Packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids, our Castor Carrier Oil provides essential nourishment for hair, skin, and overall wellness. 

Locks in Moisture: Due to its humectant properties, Castor Oil penetrates the deeper layers of the skin and hair and seals in moisture, resulting in long-lasting hydration. 

Gentle Enough to Soothe Irritation: Ideal for sensitive skin types, Castor Carrier Oil is gentle yet effective.  

Replenishes Dry, Flaky Scalp: For those struggling with dandruff, Castor Carrier Oil deeply moisturizes the scalp, providing relief and restoring balance for healthier-looking hair. 


DESCRIPTION 

Once dismissed as a mere weed, the Castor plant underwent a profound transformation. Evolving from an unassuming presence to a botanical marvel, it earned the moniker "Palma Christi" or "the Palm of Christ”, symbolizing its newfound significance.  

Castor Oil gained prominence in the holistic world, thanks to Edgar Casey, often hailed as the "Father of Holistic Medicine." Casey's advocacy for the oil's healing properties, both internally and externally, catapulted Castor Oil into the limelight. Expeller pressed from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, this rich emollient has been revered as a natural remedy for a myriad of ailments from ancient Ayurvedic practices to traditional Chinese medicine.  

Today, Castor Carrier Oil remains a staple, integrating historical practices into contemporary skincare routines. 


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE 

  • Luxurious Face Serum: Apply a small amount of Castor Carrier Oil onto clean, dry skin. Gently massage in circular motions, focusing on areas prone to dryness. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. 
  • Moisturizing Scalp Massage: For a scalp massage, part your hair and massage Castor Oil the scalp in gentle circular motions. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes before washing. 
  • Massage Therapy: With its natural humectant properties that lock in moisture, Castor makes an excellent choice of oil for massage therapy. Apply a generous amount to the skin, focusing on areas of tension or dryness. The emollient richness of the oil enhances the glide during massage.
