The oil is cold pressed from the seeds of \u003cem\u003eRicinus communis\u003c\/em\u003e, the castor plant native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia, sourced from India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold pressing uses mechanical pressure to extract oil from the seed without chemical solvents or external heat. This preserves the natural fatty acid composition of the oil and eliminates the risk of hexane residues present in solvent-extracted oils. Glass bottle storage prevents the migration of plasticizers and other compounds from plastic packaging into the oil over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only. Not for internal consumption. Vegan. Non-GMO. No additives of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRicinoleic Acid: What Makes Castor Oil Unique\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor oil contains approximately 85 to 90% ricinoleic acid, a hydroxyl fatty acid that is exceptionally rare in nature and not found at significant concentrations in any other commercially available vegetable oil. The hydroxyl group at the 12-carbon position of ricinoleic acid gives castor oil its characteristic high viscosity, strong humectant properties, and ability to penetrate the skin barrier more deeply than most other fixed oils. This unique fatty acid profile is the basis for castor oil's longstanding use in topical skin and hair care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Cold Pressed and Not Solvent Extracted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConventional castor oil production often uses hexane, a petrochemical solvent, to maximize oil yield from the seed. Hexane extraction leaves trace solvent residues in the finished oil and does not require the same quality controls as mechanical pressing. Cold pressing uses mechanical pressure alone, with no chemical solvents introduced at any stage. The result is a cleaner oil with no solvent residues and a fully preserved natural fatty acid profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Glass Bottle and Not Plastic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor oil is a highly viscous, lipophilic oil that can interact with plastic packaging over time, potentially drawing plasticizers and other polymer additives into the oil. Glass is chemically inert and does not leach compounds into the oil regardless of storage duration or temperature. Glass also provides superior protection from light and environmental contamination, and is fully recyclable. Storing castor oil in glass preserves purity from production through to the last drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Certified Organic Source Material Matters for a Topical Oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor seeds are grown in tropical agricultural systems where synthetic pesticide and herbicide use is common in conventional production. These compounds are lipophilic and can concentrate in the seed oil during extraction. Certified organic certification prohibits synthetic pesticide and herbicide use at every stage of cultivation and processing, providing meaningful purity assurance for an oil applied directly to skin, scalp, and sensitive areas such as the eye contour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredient\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRicinus communis (Castor) Seed Oil 100%\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic | Cold pressed | Hexane free | Sourced from India | Approximately 85 to 90% ricinoleic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo non-medicinal ingredients.

Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper conditioning. Wash out with shampoo. Use 1 to 2 times per week or as needed. Due to its thick texture, castor oil is easier to apply when slightly warmed (place the glass bottle in warm water for a few minutes) or blended with a lighter oil such as coconut or jojoba.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEyebrows and lashes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using a clean brush or applicator, apply a small amount to eyebrows or lash line before bedtime.
