Tisserand Organic Castor Oil

Organic castor blending oil is a versatile and nutrient-rich oil that has been trusted for centuries for its well-known health and wellbeing benefits.

Castor oil is an excellent natural moisturiser that provides deep hydration and helps create a protective barrier on the skin, locking in moisture.

The oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly ricinoleic acid, which enhances skin's moisture retention and promotes a smooth, soft complexion. Its soothing properties make it perfect for nourishing dry, flaky skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple. Castor oil also helps balance oil production, making it a beneficial addition to skincare routines for those with oily or combination skin.

This versatile oil is also great for hair and scalp care. Castor oil can deeply moisturise hair, adding shine and smoothness whilst preventing dryness and flakiness on the scalp. The essential fatty acids in castor oil nourish hair follicles, contributing to the overall appearance of healthy, strong hair.

Castor oil can also be applied with a small brush or spoolie to the eyebrows and eyelashes* to enhance their natural appearance or to nails and cuticles to maintain strength, hydration and a healthy look.

Castor oil is also known for therapeutic uses. It can be massaged into areas of joint and muscle discomfort to provide a soothing effect. Traditionally, it has been used in practices that aim to support digestive wellness by applying a castor oil pack (a cloth soaked in castor oil covered by a towel, with the option of adding a hot water bottle on top) over the abdomen; this is also believed to provide comfort during bloating and menstrual cycles.

The Organic Castor Blending Oil originates from India, where it is harvested by rural farming communities. It's extracted by cold pressing organic castor seeds to produce a thick light yellow oil. Cold pressing is an entirely natural method of oil extraction, ensuring that natural nutrients, vitamins and properties of the oil are preserved without using heat or chemicals
