Organic castor oil (Ricinus communis), cold-pressed, unrefined

Cold-pressed castor oil , free of hexane and other solvents, retains its natural lipid structure and high biological purity. Thanks to its ability to deeply penetrate tissue, it is traditionally used on the abdominal area, liver, and lymphatic system, especially in the form of compresses.

Certified organic castor oil – cold pressed, unrefined

A thick, rich, and distinctly nourishing plant oil with a delicate, neutral aroma. Our certified organic castor oil has a light yellow color and a distinctive, viscous consistency that allows it to act deeply and lastingly. It is exceptionally well tolerated by skin and hair, and its structure promotes intensive absorption and a "cocooning" effect.

Castor oil is particularly valued for the care of the abdomen and abdominal area. Traditionally used in the form of castor oil packs, where, when applied to the skin and combined with heat, it promotes tissue comfort, relaxation, and natural regenerative processes. Muscles literally "drink" this oil, making it an excellent base for massage in areas requiring deep relief.

Thanks to its very high ricinoleic acid content (87.8%), this oil has powerful emollient, protective, and barrier-supporting properties. It helps limit moisture loss, improves skin elasticity, and supports its natural defenses. In hair care, it strengthens hair structure, adds shine, and promotes a healthy scalp.
