This bundle combines Biotin 10,000 mcg with Organic Castor Oil for two distinct parts of a personal-care routine. Biotin is an oral vitamin B7 supplement, while castor oil is applied externally to condition the scalp and hair. The products remain separate, with different ingredients and methods of use.
Biotin 10,000 mcg
Each capsule provides 10,000 mcg of biotin, also known as vitamin B7. The non-medicinal ingredients are magnesium stearate and hypromellose, which forms the vegetable capsule shell. The biotin product carries Natural Product Number 80071632.
Organic Castor Oil for External Conditioning
The bundle includes 473 mL of organic castor oil. Its single listed ingredient is Ricinus communis seed oil. Cold pressed and hexane free, this oil is sourced from India and intended for topical use, not ingestion.
Use the oil as a separate scalp and hair-conditioning step rather than mixing it into the supplement. The pairing brings an oral nutrient product and an external conditioning oil together without combining them into one formula.

Q1: What is included in the Keratin Support and Scalp Conditioning Bundle?
The Keratin Support and Scalp Conditioning Bundle includes two complementary hair wellness products: Biotin 10,000mcg (NPN 80071632), a Health Canada licensed high potency Vitamin B7 supplement providing 10,000mcg of biotin per vegan capsule (150 capsules, 5 month supply at 1 capsule per day); and Organic Castor Oil, 100% pure cold pressed hexane free Ricinus communis seed oil sourced from India (473ml), for external topical use on scalp, hair, skin, eyebrows, and lashes. Biotin is a licensed natural health product. Organic Castor Oil is a pure topical oil for external use only and is not a licensed natural health product.
Q2: Why do biotin and castor oil work well together for hair wellness?
Biotin and castor oil address hair wellness from two distinct and complementary angles. Biotin supports the internal nutrient pathways associated with keratin biosynthesis, helping maintain healthy hair, nails, and skin from within through its role as a cofactor for carboxylase enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and nutrient processing. Organic Castor Oil provides external scalp conditioning and surface level moisture support through its high ricinoleic acid content, traditionally used to support scalp hydration and improve the appearance of hair smoothness and shine. Together they create an internal and external approach to hair wellness that neither product achieves alone.
Q3: What does biotin do for hair and nail health?
Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a water soluble B vitamin that functions as an essential cofactor for carboxylase enzymes involved in amino acid catabolism, fatty acid synthesis, and gluconeogenesis. In the context of hair and nail health, biotin supports amino acid metabolism, providing the building blocks for keratin biosynthesis. Keratin is the primary structural protein of hair shafts, nail plates, and the outer layer of skin. This formula is licensed by Health Canada to help maintain healthy hair, nails, mucous membranes, and skin, help maintain cognitive functions, help prevent biotin deficiency, and help maintain the body's ability to metabolize nutrients (NPN 80071632).
Q4: Why is this biotin formula 10,000mcg when the daily requirement is much lower?
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for biotin in adults is approximately 30mcg per day. However, supplemental biotin for hair, nail, and skin support is commonly used at much higher doses (2,500 to 10,000mcg) in clinical and wellness contexts. At 10,000mcg, this is a high potency formula designed to ensure adequate biotin availability for keratin biosynthesis and nutrient metabolism support. It is important to note that high dose biotin supplementation can interfere with certain laboratory immunoassays. Discontinue use at least 72 hours before any blood work and inform your healthcare practitioner of supplementation.
Q5: What is castor oil and what is ricinoleic acid?
Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, native to tropical regions of Africa and Asia and widely cultivated in India. Ricinoleic acid is a unique hydroxylated fatty acid that comprises approximately 85 to 90% of castor oil's fatty acid content and is responsible for its distinctive thick consistency and traditional use as a topical conditioning oil. Ricinoleic acid is not commonly found in other vegetable oils, making castor oil unique among plant based oils for topical use. This Organic Castor Oil is cold pressed from organically grown castor seeds sourced from India and processed without hexane or other chemical solvents.
Q6: What does cold pressed and hexane free mean for castor oil?
Cold pressing is a mechanical extraction method that presses oil from seeds at low temperatures without heat, preserving the full fatty acid profile and natural compounds of the castor seed without heat degradation. Hexane free means no chemical solvent (hexane is a petroleum derived solvent commonly used in conventional oil extraction) was used in the extraction process, ensuring no solvent residues in the final oil. Together, cold pressed and hexane free processing produce a purer, higher quality oil than conventionally extracted castor oil.
Q7: How do I use the Organic Castor Oil?
For scalp and hair: Apply to scalp and hair, leave in for at least 30 minutes before rinsing. Use 1 to 2 times per week for best results. For skin: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and massage into the area gently. Use as needed. For eyebrows and lashes: Use a clean brush or applicator to apply a small amount before bedtime. Organic Castor Oil is for external use only. Do not ingest.
Q8: How long does it take to see results from biotin supplementation?
Biotin supports keratin biosynthesis through nutrient metabolism pathways, and results from biotin supplementation follow the natural growth cycle of hair and nails. Hair grows approximately 1 to 1.5cm per month, so noticeable improvements in new hair growth quality typically require 8 to 12 weeks of consistent daily supplementation. Nail improvements may be observed after 4 to 6 weeks as new growth emerges from the nail matrix. Consult a healthcare practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks.
Q9: Will high dose biotin affect my blood test results?
Yes. High dose biotin supplementation (10,000mcg per capsule) can interfere with certain laboratory immunoassays that use biotin streptavidin technology, including thyroid function tests (TSH, T3, T4), cardiac troponin assays, vitamin D measurements, and hormone panels. This interference can cause falsely elevated or falsely lowered results depending on the assay. Discontinue biotin supplementation at least 72 hours before any blood work and inform your healthcare practitioner that you are taking high dose biotin supplementation.
Q10: Is the Organic Castor Oil safe for sensitive skin?
Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use, particularly if you have sensitive skin or known allergies. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before applying to larger areas. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs. Keep out of eyes. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. For external use only.
Q11: Is the biotin in this bundle suitable for vegans?
Yes. Biotin 10,000mcg uses a hypromellose vegetable capsule shell with no gelatin or animal derived ingredients and is suitable for vegans. Organic Castor Oil is a 100% plant derived oil and is also suitable for vegans.
Q12: Is the biotin licensed by Health Canada?
Yes. Biotin 10,000mcg is a licensed Natural Health Product approved by Health Canada under the Natural Health Products Regulations with NPN 80071632, manufactured in a GMP certified facility in Canada. Organic Castor Oil is a pure topical oil for external use only and is not a licensed natural health product.
