Castor Carrier Oil

Name: Castor Carrier Oil
SKU: 8043
Availability: InStock

Floris Naturals Castor Carrier Oil is a 100% pure castor oil, expeller pressed from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant.

Castor oil is thicker and more viscous than many other carrier oils, making it a useful choice for body-care routines, massage blends, scalp oiling, hair ends, nails, cuticles, and DIY personal care preparations. Its rich texture gives it a smooth, protective feel on the skin and makes it especially helpful when a heavier carrier oil is preferred.

This oil has little to no scent, making it easy to use on its own or blend with other carrier oils and properly diluted essential oils.

A Rich Carrier Oil for Hair, Body & DIY Blends

Castor Carrier Oil is a practical staple for customers who enjoy simple natural beauty ingredients. Use it as a body oil, massage oil, scalp oil, hair-end oil, cuticle oil, or a thickening oil in handmade body-care blends.

Because castor oil is naturally viscous, many customers prefer to blend it with lighter carrier oils such as grapeseed, jojoba, sweet almond, or fractionated coconut oil for easier application.
