Organic Castor Oil

Cold-Pressed, Unrefined Castor Oil for Skin Hydration, Hair Vitality, Lymphatic Support & Castor Oil Packs

Castor oil is one of the oldest and most versatile botanical remedies in the world, used for centuries across Ayurvedic, traditional African, and folk medicine traditions for skin nourishment, hair strength, and detoxification rituals. What makes it unique among plant oils is its exceptionally high concentration of ricinoleic acid, a rare omega-9 fatty acid that makes up nearly 90% of the oil's composition and is responsible for its deeply hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and lymphatic-supportive properties. Anima Mundi sources theirs from organically grown castor seeds and cold-presses them without heat or refinement, preserving the full nutrient profile, including vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and naturally occurring antioxidants, for maximum purity and potency.

What Ricinoleic Acid Does

Ricinoleic acid is what sets castor oil apart from every other plant oil. Its molecular structure allows it to penetrate deeply into skin and hair without leaving a heavy, greasy residue. It binds moisture to the skin, supports the integrity of the skin barrier, and has well-documented anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that make it effective for a wide range of skin and hair concerns. It also supports lymphatic circulation when massaged into the skin, making castor oil a foundational tool in detoxification and self-care rituals.

What Castor Oil Supports

For Skin

• Deep, lasting hydration for dry, rough, and flaky skin
• Skin barrier integrity and moisture retention
• Soothing of irritated, sensitive, or inflamed skin
• Softening of dry patches on elbows, heels, cuticles, and lips
• A smoother, more supple skin texture over time

For Hair, Lashes, and Brows

• Scalp nourishment and circulation support to promote thicker, stronger hair
• Lash and brow conditioning with consistent nightly application
• Reduced breakage and improved hair shine and resilience
• A rich, nourishing hair mask when applied before washing

For Castor Oil Packs

One of the most time-tested applications in traditional medicine, castor oil packs are applied to the abdomen with gentle warmth, and are used to support liver detoxification, promote lymphatic drainage, reduce pelvic congestion, ease menstrual cramping, and calm the nervous system. We recommend castor oil packs as a simple, accessible home therapy for supporting liver health, cycle regularity, and overall hormonal balance.

How to Use

Skin and body: Apply 3 to 5 drops to clean skin, massaging gently until absorbed. Use morning or evening on any area needing hydration or repair. Can be mixed into body cream or layered under moisturizer.

Hair and scalp: Apply to the scalp and hair, focusing on the roots and ends. Leave on for at least 30 minutes or overnight, then shampoo out. Use as a weekly hair mask or nightly lash treatment with a clean brush or cotton swab.

Castor oil packs: Saturate a cloth with castor oil and place over the lower abdomen. Cover with a warm compress or heating pad. Leave on for 30 to 60 minutes. Use 3 to 4 times per week for best results.
