We recommend using castor oil for topical application. Taking castor oil internally may cause some side effects:
- abdominal cramping
- nausea
- vomiting
- diarrhoea, especially when used in large amounts
- Do not use castor oil if you’re pregnant.
Allergic reactions to castor oil are rare but possible, so seek emergency medical care if you believe you are having a serious allergic reaction.
When using castor oil topically, it’s still best to start slowly and perform a skin patch test on a small area of your skin before applying larger amounts, and also keep it away from your eyes, inside of your nose, children and pets.
Always consult your GP if you’re currently taking medication or have any medical condition.
Castorvida Organic Castor Oil is sourced from India, one of the world's leading castor-growing regions.
Our oil is made from organically grown castor beans and contains just one ingredient: 100% Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil.
We carefully select our castor oil for its quality, purity and suitability for castor oil packing and everyday topical use.
Our castor oil is cold-pressed, using mechanical pressure to extract the oil without relying on excessive heat during the pressing process.
Cold pressing is a relatively gentle method of oil extraction and allows us to offer a castor oil that is minimally processed.
When choosing a castor oil, it's worth remembering that terms such as cold-pressed, organic and hexane-free describe different aspects of how an oil is produced - which is why we believe in being transparent about all three.
Castorvida Organic Castor Oil is hexane-free.
Hexane is a chemical solvent that can be used to help extract oils from seeds on an industrial scale. Although the solvent is subsequently removed during processing, some people prefer oils that have been extracted without the use of chemical solvents in the first place.
Our castor oil is cold-pressed and produced without the use of hexane during extraction, giving you a simple, minimally processed oil with a clearly explained production method.
