Handcraft Blends Castor Oil 236 ml 🧴

This cold-pressed castor oil from Handcraft Blends acts as a concentrated carrier oil that nourishes hair, lashes and skin, providing deep moisturisation and a smooth texture for massage and body use. With a 236 ml glass bottle and organic certification, this premium-grade oil suits those looking for a natural boost to hair care routines or to mix with essential oils for aromatherapy.

Key Points

This castor oil is cold-pressed and hexane-free, keeping a more natural profile that preserves fatty acids and vitamin E for topical use. It is presented in a 236 ml glass bottle, which helps protect the oil from light and potential contamination. The product is described as 100% pure and organic, marketed as a carrier oil for blending with essential oils and for direct application on hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.

Castor oil is notably viscous, so a little goes a long way when applying to the scalp or lashes. For those who prefer a lighter feel, it can be mixed with lighter carrier oils such as jojoba or almond oil to improve spreadability and reduce stickiness. 🌿

Benefits

Regular topical use helps moisturise the hair shaft and may improve the appearance of dryness according to the manufacturer. For lashes and brows, the oil is rich in ricinoleic acid and other fatty acids that condition and soften hair when applied consistently. The thick texture gives a protective layer that can help retain moisture in both skin and hair. 🧴

Castor oil also functions as a smooth massage medium, offering good glide and slip for body work while contributing to skin hydration. The organic and cold-pressed nature aims to maintain more of the oil’s natural nutrients compared with refined alternatives.

Usage Recommendations

Warm a small amount between the fingertips before applying to the scalp or hair ends to aid absorption and ease distribution. For eyebrows and eyelashes, use a clean spoolie or cotton bud and apply sparingly at night, avoiding contact with the eyes. When blending for aromatherapy or topical treatments, combine with a lighter carrier oil at a ratio that suits your tolerance and skin sensibility.

Consider that castor oil is naturally thick and may leave residues on fabrics or bedding if applied heavily. Patch testing on a small skin area is advisable if you have sensitive skin, and results such as increased hair sheen or thicker-looking lashes may vary between individuals.
