About this deal

A. There’s no need to refrigerate your castor oil, but it should be kept out of sunlight and away from any heat source. Ideally, you should store the oil in a dry, dark cabinet where it won’t be exposed to humidity or temperature fluctuations. As a general rule, your oil will stay good for up to six months once opened. Q. Is castor oil safe? If your hair has started showing the first signs of greying, applying castor oil can prevent your hair from losing more pigment. It’s well documented for use as a hair growth stimulant. So I won’t elaborate on this subject other than to use an applicator brush when applying to the eyebrows or eyelashes (you can also use a Q tip for the eyelashes). Air Impermeability: Glass bottles offer an impermeable barrier against air infiltration, which is crucial for maintaining the freshness and extending the shelf life of castor oil.

com. Ricinoleic Acid. Last updated July 31, 2019. Available at: https://www.drugs.com/international/ricinoleic-acid.html. Accessed July 20, 2019. Inducing labour– occasionally recommended by midwives, castor oil induces labour in pregnant women. Scientific research shows that Ricinoleic acid, the fatty acid that makes up ~90% of the oil, binds to one particular receptor in the uterus causing contractions which “ induces labor in pregnant females“ [2]. See our article – Castor oil to induce labour. The versatility of the castor oil plant always astounds me. It has the capacity to be one of the most well-known therapeutic substances since the beginning of evolved man, or at least from what we know, but at the same time it has the ability to kill us. It feels to me as though this plant is the perfect expression of Yin and Yang – the balance we find in all things in life. Chemistry of Castor OilCastor oil is the master carrier oil, due to its structure and the MW of ricinoleic acid. Because of this amazing capability to transport and transfer substances into the body, it is of the utmost importance to only use a high-quality oil that is organic. Excessive oral usage of castor oil can produce an adverse effect on the mucosal membrane of the intestine. The effect has been shown in rabbit ileum to be similar to that produced by fatty acids, indicating that excessive use of castor oil (as with all fats) can potentially cause damage and create a similar environment in the intestine as with steatorrheal disease. 17

Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2018;95:298-306. Temperature Resilience: Glass bottles can handle temperature changes better than plastic. If you need to warm your castor oil slightly for an application, a glass bottle can safely be placed in warm water. Chemical Leaching: Certain plastics can leach chemicals into the castor oil, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. This poses a risk to the purity and effectiveness of the organic castor oil. Castor Oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seed of the castor plant Ricinus communis. Castor oil is colourless or very light yellow in colour and is either mild or odourless in taste and smell. Ninety percent (90%) of it’s fatty acid chains are ricinoleic acid – an unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid which is well known medically for it’s “ remarkable analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects“ [1]

Environmental Benefits: Opting for glass bottles supports eco-friendly initiatives, as glass is recyclable and helps in reducing plastic waste. Weight and Portability: Glass bottles are generally heavier than plastic, making them less convenient for travel or frequent handling.

Lightweight and Portable: Plastic bottles are easier to carry and handle, making them more convenient for travel.

What does it feel like?

Lower Cost: Plastic is generally cheaper to produce, so castor oil in plastic bottles tends to be less expensive for the consumer.
