CASTOR OIL

Castor oil is one of the thickest oils on our shelf — and perhaps one of the hardest-working too. It is cold-pressed from the fruit of the castor oil plant and ours is organic, in an amber bottle with a pump and a sunny yellow label with a heart. Inside is the pure, undiluted strength of a single ingredient. And you really need very little of it: a few drops go a surprisingly long way. The bottle holds 50 ml — dosed drop by drop, that is a supply for many months.

Evening shift: castor oil for eyelashes and eyebrows

It is valued most where patience and precision are needed. Apply it to your eyelashes and eyebrows in the evening with a clean brush or a cotton bud — ideally before bed, so it has the whole night to nourish. The thick consistency is an advantage here: it stays put and does not run where it should not. If you still find it too thick, thin it with a drop of a lighter oil, such as jojoba, and it will go on more easily. It offers no quick theatrics, just honest, slow care. Exactly our genre.

You know it from our soaps

In soap recipes, castor oil is a quiet worker — it supports the formation and stability of lather, and just a little is enough to make a difference you can feel. It has the same nature in the bottle: unassuming, thick, persistent. If you are curious what role it plays after saponification, we go through it in the ingredient encyclopaedia — and the best place to check its work in the lather is on our handmade soaps.

Store it like the other oils: out of direct sunlight — the amber glass takes care of the rest. Cold will not harm thick oils — at most they will flow even more slowly. You will find more ingredients in amber bottles among our oils and butters. To lather is human. With castor oil in the recipe, a little more lathery too.
