100% Pure and Natural Cold Pressed and Hexane-free, our castor oil is made from high-quality, sustainably sourced castor beans. No additives, no fillers — just clean, single-ingredient oil you can trust.

Cold-Pressed, Not Expeller-Pressed – Unlike expeller-pressed oils that use high heat and can degrade nutrients, our castor oil is cold-pressed below 120°F to preserve the full spectrum of beneficial fatty acids and vitamins.

Amber Glass Bottle – No Plastic Leaching – Packaged in a UV-protective amber glass bottle to shield the oil from light damage and avoid the risks of plastic contamination — a smarter, safer, and more eco-conscious choice.

Fresh Small-Batch Bottling – We bottle in small batches to ensure your oil arrives exceptionally fresh, not aged in a warehouse. Rich color, natural scent, and full potency — every time.

Deep Moisture for Skin & Hair – Naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, this oil deeply hydrates dry skin, scalp, and hair. Ideal for conditioning, scalp massage, and moisture-locking beauty routines.

Brow & Lash Friendly – A clean, gentle option for those who love natural beauty — widely used to nourish lashes and brows for a fuller, healthier appearance (without harsh chemicals or synthetic growth serums).
