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.
