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

Castor oil, cold-pressed, hexane-free (without the use of hexane) and other solvents, maintains its natural lipid structure and high biological purity. Due to its deep tissue penetration ability, it is traditionally used on the abdomen, liver, and lymphatic system, especially in the form of compresses.

Certified Organic Castor Oil – Cold-Pressed, Unrefined

A thick, rich, and distinctly nourishing vegetable oil with a delicate, neutral aroma. Our certified organic castor oil has a light yellow color and a characteristic, viscous consistency that allows it to work deeply and long-lastingly. Skin and hair tolerate it exceptionally well, and its structure promotes intensive absorption and a "cocooning" effect.

Castor oil is particularly valued in abdominal and belly area care. Traditionally used in the form of compresses (so-called castor oil packs), where applied to the skin and combined with warmth, it supports tissue comfort, relaxation, and natural regenerative processes. Muscles literally "drink" this oil, making it an excellent base for massaging areas requiring deep soothing.

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