FAQs

Questions

Is this castor oil safe for lashes, brows, and soap?
Yes – 100% organic, hexane-free, and non-comedogenic when diluted. Safe up to 20% in cold-process soap.

How does it support hair/lash growth?
High ricinoleic acid improves circulation and nourishes follicles – visible results in 4-6 weeks with consistent use.

What's the best usage rate in soap recipes?
5-15% for creamy lather and conditioning; 15-20% in shave soaps. SAP ~0.128 NaOH – always use a lye calculator.

Can it help with scars, acne, or joint pain?
Yes – massage undiluted on healed scars/acne; apply warm packs to joints for anti-inflammatory relief.

Is it safe during pregnancy?
External use is generally safe (avoid large abdominal areas); consult a healthcare provider for any concerns.

How should I store it in Australia's climate?
Refrigerate in warmer states (QLD/NT) to maintain thickness and prevent oxidation; amber glass protects from UV.

Can it be used undiluted on skin?
Yes for spot treatments (scars/joints), but dilute with carrier oils for larger areas to avoid stickiness.

Why choose hexane-free organic?
Cold-pressed extraction preserves potency without chemical solvents for purest, most effective oil.

Castor oil

Gorgeous and rich oil, nice to know that it's organic. Delivery was easy and quick, shame that it costs just as much to have it delivered as to buy, but that's with everything everywhere online at the moment. Love this company, always have exactly what I need - and little treats I am able to sneak in and hide 😉
