Castor Oil ~ Organic, cold-pressed & hexane-free ~ 500ml

Why it matters

Castor oil penetrates deeply into the tissues, which means the quality of what you use matters enormously. Cold-pressed extraction preserves the oil's natural integrity. Hexane-free means no chemical solvents have been used in processing. And amber glass means nothing from the packaging ever reaches the oil — because plastic and castor oil are not a combination we're willing to make.

If you're pairing this oil with a castor oil wrap or pack, we also recommend using organic, undyed and unbleached cotton — so nothing synthetic comes between the oil and your skin as it absorbs.

Why this oil — and why 500ml?

Not all castor oil is equal. Cold-pressing preserves the ricinoleic acid content that makes castor oil therapeutically valuable. Hexane-free processing means no residual chemical solvents. And amber glass protects the oil from light degradation while ensuring nothing leaches in from plastic storage.

A regular castor oil practice uses more oil than most people expect — a full abdominal pack uses 2-3 tablespoons each time. The 500ml bottle means you can commit to a consistent practice without rationing, and at better value than restocking the 250ml repeatedly. It's also a good option if you're using the oil across multiple areas — abdomen, liver, neck, hair — or sharing it with someone else.

This is the oil we use in our own balms and recommend alongside every wrap we make — because a practice is only as good as the ingredients at its heart.
