Organic Castor Oil is a rich, nourishing carrier oil with a naturally thick texture and glossy skin feel. It is commonly used in targeted skin care, hair care, scalp care, massage blends, and DIY body care formulations.
Because castor oil is heavier than many other carrier oils, a small amount goes a long way. It can be used on its own for targeted application, or blended with lighter carrier oils such as Fractionated Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, or Apricot Kernel Oil to create a smoother, easier-spreading blend.

Topical Use
Carrier oils are primarily used as a base for topical application and dilution of essential oils.
They may be applied directly to the skin on their own or used as a carrier for essential oils in massage oils, personal care formulations, and custom blends.
Blending
Carrier oils are commonly combined with essential oils to dilute concentration and support even application.
Different carrier oils vary in texture, absorption rate, and skin feel, making them suitable for a wide range of cosmetic and aromatherapy uses.
Formulation
Carrier oils may be used in creams, lotions, balms, serums, and massage blends.
They are often selected based on skin type, desired consistency, and intended use of the final formulation.
Important Notes
Carrier oils are not aromatic concentrates and do not require dilution prior to topical use.
Always perform a patch test before first use, particularly on sensitive skin.
