100% Pure Cold-Pressed Castor Oil (Hexane-Free)

Known locally as Arandi ka Tail, Castor oil is a thick, traditional remedy for anyone wanting longer hair, thicker lashes, or a way to fix extremely dry skin.

At Aroma Farmacy, we specifically source a Cold-Pressed grade of Castor oil because it hasn't been processed with high heat or harsh chemicals like hexane. This matters because it keeps the natural nutrients active and potent which actually helps with hair growth and skin healing.

Because it’s a very thick oil due to its high concentration of ricinoleic acid, it acts like a protective shield for your skin and hair, locking in moisture where you need it most.

How to use it (The Practical Way)

• For Hair & Scalp: Since Castor oil is very thick, it's hard to spread on its own. We recommend mixing it 50/50 with a lighter oil like Almond or Coconut oil. Massage it into your roots, leave it for 2 hours, and then wash it out.
  
  
• For Lashes & Brows: Use the dropper from our 30ml glass bottle or a cotton bud to apply a tiny drop to your lashes before bed. Consistency is key for fuller growth.
  
  
• For Dry Heels: If your skin is cracking, rub some Castor oil on your feet at night and put on socks. It’s one of the best ways to soften tough skin.

Safety & Storage

• FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY.
  
  
• Pregnancy: Castor oil is traditionally used to induce labor, so please avoid using it heavily or consuming it if you are pregnant.
  
  
• Patch Test: Always try a little bit on your arm first to make sure your skin doesn't react.
  
  
• Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Our food-grade bottles and glass bottles help protect the oil from light and heat.
