Castor Oil For Scalp

Rated 4.7 out of 5
Based on 3 reviews

Castor Oil is crafted from the seeds of the Castor plant and has a number of benefits when used on your scalp. This oil features nutrients such as omega fatty acids, vitamin E, antioxidants, and proteins, all of which can leave your scalp feeling nourished, soothed, and hydrated.

Castor Oil also possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties. This means that you can massage it into your scalp and use it to treat conditions such as dandruff, dry skin, or eczema. It can be especially useful when combined with a few drops of tea tree oil, as this will increase the soothing and anti-fungal properties.

You may also use Castor Oil on your scalp to help encourage thicker hair or hair growth. The nutrients and hydration that Castor Oil bring are essential in healthy, strong hair growth. You can combine Castor Oil with another essential oil such as rosemary or lavender to gain the most hair growth and strengthening benefits possible.

Each Wholesale Botanics oil is quality-checked from start to finish, so you can be sure you’re getting the highest quality Castor oil available. Every oil is also packaged domestically in the United States in a world-class facility.

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.

Clean, dandruff-free scalp

This has a really strong and quick action. It cleared my scalp of any dandruff and dead skin, it's perpetually clean now.

Awesome results but a bit greasy

The results are fast and very very noticeable, but I find it a bit too oily which works against my naturally oily hair.

Hydrates scalp definitively

I read a few theories a while back of people who believes that shampoo and conditioner companies were designing products that made your hair worse so you kept buying their stuff. I didn't believe it completely until I substituted a few favorites with natural oils. My scalp is hydrated like ALWAYS. I end up washing my hair out of feeling bad for not doing it, because it just doesn't get nasty dirty anymore.
