Castor Oil for Nails

Castor Oil for Nails

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 3 reviews

Derived from the seeds of the castor plant, castor oil is a popular vegetable oil with a history that dates back to ancient Egypt. The oil itself is colorless or yellow, and is known for containing nourishing properties. Castor oil is a potent source of essential fatty acids and ricin oleic acid; these nutrients are said to hydrate and moisturize the skin, hair, and nails, and prevent further loss of moisture by supporting the skin’s natural protective hydration barrier.

When used on nails, castor oil may help to soothe and hydrate the skin around the nail bed. This works to prevent hangnails and itchy, dry skin. Castor oil is also said to hydrate the nail itself and encourage healthier growth. Over time, these may lead to stronger, healthier-looking nails.

Massage castor oil into your nails once a day for best results and use before or after manicures to keep your nails in top shape.
Ingredients
Ricinus communis (Castor) Seed Oil
Highlights
Certified 100% Pure Carrier Oil
Why Purity MattersCarrier Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Carrier Oil possible, free of any additional substances. Scroll down to see its unique downloadable third-party lab test to verify its purity.
Responsibly sourced with renewable practices
We strive to thoroughly vet each supplier we work with for their sustainability, environmental responsibility, and labor practices to ensure that they protect both people and the planet for generations to come. We want our carrier oils to have a positive impact on the world, and we avoid suppliers who don't share those values.
Wholesale Botanics carrier oils are naturally derived, minimally processed, and carefully evaluated to ensure safety and therapeutic potency.

Features & Benefits

Effective on all types of hair and skin.

Science-backed restorative for skin and hair.

Commonly used as a moisturizer and emollient.

Castor Seeds were praised by the ancient Egyptians for their use in traditional medicine, particularly for healing wounds. The oil's high content of omega-9 fatty acids provides anti-inflammatory effects, which may alleviate joint pain when applied topically. 

Castor Oil is now commonly used for promoting hair growth and skin softness. Its thick consistency and gentle scent makes it ideal for blending with essential oils to enhance its aroma and therapeutic properties.

Good quality,clean, clear / natural

I like it! The packaging is nice and all-purpose, very moisturizing, cold-pressed is the best. I wanted something different but still affective, good quality and will buy again.
