Castor Oil For Skin

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 4 reviews

Castor Oil is often a main ingredient in skin-friendly products thanks to the number of nutrients that it can depart on your skin. This oil contains essential skin-health items such as vitamin E, antioxidants, proteins, omega fatty acids, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also anti-fungal and can leave skin feeling soft and hydrated.

You can use Castor Oil on your skin to help fight any signs of aging. This is because the antioxidants in the oil work to fight against free radicals that may leave your skin full of fine lines or wrinkles. It also provides hydration which helps to keep your skin looking full and soft, and will reduce any puffiness thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

You can also use Castor Oil on your skin to treat areas of acne or skin conditions like dry skin or eczema. This is due to the oil's anti-fungal properties which help it clear toxins out of your skin, preventing breakouts or itchiness, and the vitamins and antioxidants which can leave your skin feeling soothed and nourished.

To use this oil on your skin, simply massage several drops into any affected area up to two times a day. You may also mix a few drops of Castor Oil into your favorite body lotion or moisturizer and gain the benefits this way.

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

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.

Sunburn treatment

Really good oil for sunburns, my kids enjoy spending their days in the garden, but don't enjoy sunscreen that much. This is the perfect solution and I believe it gives them some protection too.

Soothes sunburnt skin but doesn't help heal

This soothes the pain and hot sensation of sunburns, but doesn't seem to make them heal any faster. I'll take what I can get tho.
