Castor Carrier Oil (Ricinus communis) 100ml — Cold-Pressed (India)

Ink-dark gloss from the seed—slow as honey, strong as a charm.

Pressed from castor seeds in India, this dense, glossy oil has a soft, neutral scent and a cushiony, slow-absorbing glide. Beautiful for oil-cleansing balms, scalp and hair rituals, salves, and richly textured massage blends—best softened with lighter carriers for slip.

How to use

Lash/brow blends:* use very sparingly in a well-diluted mix (e.g., 5–10% castor in jojoba); avoid eye contact.

Add a touch of vitamin E or wheatgerm to help slow oxidation in DIY blends.
