What is Castor Oil used for?

Castor Oil is used as a base oil for skin care, massage, hair care, and diluting essential oils. It helps spread stronger oils more evenly and makes finished blends easier to apply.

Can I mix Castor Oil with essential oils?

Yes. Use it to dilute essential oils before skin application. Add essential oil at a safe dilution rate for your use, mix well, and patch test the finished blend.

Is Castor Oil good for massage?

Can I use Castor Oil on hair?
