Can I use this castor oil for castor oil packs?
Yes. Many customers use our organic castor oil with our organic cotton castor oil wraps to make castor oil packs for the abdomen, liver area, or joints. Always patch test first and stop use if you notice irritation. Speak with your naturopath if you’re pregnant or have specific health concerns.
What should I look for in a good castor oil?
Look for castor oil that is 100% pure Ricinus communis seed oil, organically grown, cold-pressed, hexane-free, and preferably bottled in glass. These factors help ensure purity and minimise exposure to unnecessary solvents or plastics.
Is castor oil safe to use on skin and hair?
Yes, Castor oil is widely used as a topical oil for skin and hair, mainly for its moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties.
It’s always best to patch test a small area first and avoid use on broken or irritated skin.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your naturopath before using castor oil packs or large amounts on your torso.
Are you based in Melbourne, and do you ship Australia-wide?
