Extracted from the seeds of Ricinus communis and certified organic, this 16 fl. oz bottle of NOW Solutions Castor Oil offers a pure, versatile oil suitable for a wide range of beauty and personal care uses. Expeller-pressed to retain its natural fatty acid profile and produced under GMP-reviewed processes, the oil is a straightforward option for anyone seeking a plant-based moisturizer without synthetic fragrances.

How will NOW Organic Castor Oil improve dry skin and rough patches?

Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which helps create a protective, occlusive layer to reduce moisture loss and leave skin feeling smoother. Used alone or blended into lotions and balms, it provides long-lasting slip and can help soften calloused or flaky areas.

• Apply sparingly to rough spots like heels, elbows, and cuticles.
• Mix with lighter carrier oils (jojoba, almond) for easier spreadability.
• Use overnight under a sock or glove for intensive hydration.

Can I use this castor oil on my hair and scalp?

Yes — NOW Organic Castor Oil can be used to condition dry strands and to add shine. When warmed and blended with a lighter oil, it detangles and smooths the hair shaft; when massaged into the scalp, it provides a moisturizing boost for dry scalps.

• Warm a small amount and work through mid-lengths to ends for added sheen.
• Combine with coconut or argan oil for easier rinsing after treatments.
• Use as a pre-shampoo mask for 15–30 minutes to improve manageability.

What makes this NOW castor oil different from other oils?

NOW Solutions Organic Castor Oil is expeller-pressed and certified organic, produced in a facility with NPA A-rated GMP scrutiny for manufacturing and testing standards. It is virtually odorless and free from added fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive users or formulators wanting a neutral base oil.

• Certified organic source for clean ingredient traceability.
• GMP quality assurance for consistent potency and stability.
• Neutral scent works well in DIY blends and commercial skincare formulas.

How should I store and use NOW Organic Castor Oil safely?

Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight to preserve freshness. A little goes a long way — start with drops to avoid over-applying and test on a small skin area if you have sensitive skin.

• Store capped in a pantry or cabinet at room temperature.
• Patch-test before broad use; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Use glass or food-grade containers for decanting to maintain purity.

Who is this for: NOW Organic Castor Oil is suited to people seeking a single, multipurpose plant oil for moisturizing skin, conditioning hair, or building simple personal-care formulations. It appeals to formulators, DIY skincare enthusiasts, and anyone wanting an organic, neutral-scented emollient produced under verified quality standards.
