NAISSANCE ORGANIC CASTOR OIL 500ML
Castor Oil is a vegetable oil that is extracted by cold pressing the beans or seeds of the castor plant, Ricinus Communis, if you want to be fancy!
It’s an incredibly, rich, thick textured oil, almost a honey like consistency. It is made up of a monounsaturated Omega 9 fatty acid called Ricinoleic Acid which makes up around 90% of the oil. It’s this unique composition that makes castor the super versatile oil we all love.
Castor is an incredibly popular ingredient in many skincare products. Like many plant oils, Castor is super moisturising and nourishing for skin.
Castor is useful for preventing water loss from the skin which causes dryness and flakiness. It creates a barrier on the skin locking in moisture.
Castor has powerful hair strengthening and nourishing properties. It smooths, and conditions as well as promoting gloss and shine.
Massage
Make your own massage blend by combining with another carrier oil and your favourite essential oils. We recommend Sweet Almond or Coconut Oil.
For a stimulating and energising blend, try adding Grapefruit, Orange Sweet and Lemon to your blend.
Beauty
When added to creams and lotions Castor Oil adds conditioning properties intended to leave the skin soft and smooth.
Blend with another carrier oil and use as an all over body moisturiser for silky smooth, hydrated skin. We recommend something light like Sweet Almond or Hemp Seed Oil.
Hair
Add a couple of drops of Castor to your shampoo for a shine boost.
Why not try making your own nourishing hair mask?
Combine 30ml of Castor, 10ml of Argan, Jojoba and 8 drops of Peppermint Oil, for a refreshing, moisturising hair treatment.
Massage a few drops into your hair and scalp, leave for at least 30 minutes then wash.
Top tip – massage shampoo into your hair before you wet it, as this works as an emulsifier and help rinse out the oil more effectively.
Nail
Castor Oil is an excellent treatment for your nails and cuticles. Massage into nail beds to help protect and strengthen
