365 Healthy by Choice Organic Castor Oil

365 Healthy by Choice Organic Castor Oil is a pure, organic, cold-pressed and hexane-free oil produced from South African-grown castor beans.

Castor oil is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, a distinctive fatty acid responsible for many of the oil’s characteristic moisturising and conditioning properties. Its thick, nourishing texture makes it particularly suited to dry or rough skin, scalp care and hair-conditioning routines.

Applied topically, castor oil helps soften and moisturise dry skin, supports the skin barrier and can be massaged into the scalp or distributed through the hair to improve conditioning, softness and shine. It can also be applied to eyebrows, cuticles and other areas requiring concentrated moisture.

Castor oil also has a long history of use in traditional castor oil packs or poultices, where a cloth is saturated with oil and placed against the skin, often with gentle warmth.

Although castor oil has traditionally been used internally as a stimulant laxative, oral use requires considerably more caution than topical cosmetic use. It should not be promoted as a routine gastrointestinal “cleanse” or detoxification treatment.

Available in 100ml, 200ml and 500ml sizes.

Why Choose 365 Healthy by Choice Organic Castor Oil?

365 Healthy by Choice Castor Oil offers a simple, single-ingredient approach to skin, hair and body care.

The oil is cold-pressed, helping retain the naturally occurring fatty acid profile of the castor bean without the use of hexane during extraction.

Its naturally high ricinoleic acid content gives castor oil its distinctive rich consistency, making it particularly useful for areas requiring intensive moisturisation.

The choice of 100ml, 200ml or 500ml also makes it suitable for anything from targeted beauty applications to regular body care and larger castor oil packs.

Key Ingredient

Organic Castor Oil

Castor oil is obtained from the seeds of Ricinus communis and is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid. Used topically, it acts primarily as an emollient, helping soften, condition and reduce moisture loss from dry skin and hair.

Ingredients

100% Pure Organic Castor Oil (Ricinus communis Seed Oil).

Directions for Use

For Skin: Apply a small amount to clean skin and massage gently until distributed. Its rich texture makes it particularly suitable for dry areas.

For Hair & Scalp: Massage a small amount into the scalp or apply through the lengths and ends of the hair. Leave on as desired before shampooing thoroughly.

For Castor Oil Packs: Saturate a suitable cloth with castor oil and place over the desired area. Cover appropriately to protect clothing and furnishings. Gentle warmth may be applied if suitable. Avoid excessive heat and never sleep with an active heating pad or hot water bottle in place.

For Internal Use: Although the manufacturer suggests oral use for its laxative effect, internal dosing should follow the product label and preferably the advice of a pharmacist or appropriately qualified healthcare practitioner. It should not be used routinely as a gastrointestinal “cleanse”.

Suitable For

• Dry and rough skin
• Body moisturising
• Dry hair and scalp
• Hair-conditioning routines
• Scalp massage
• Cuticle care
• Traditional castor oil packs
• Those seeking pure, cold-pressed castor oil
• Those seeking hexane-free castor oil

Warnings & Precautions

For external use, avoid contact with the eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.

Do not use castor oil internally during pregnancy. Castor oil is a stimulant laxative and can cause significant intestinal cramping and diarrhoea. It has also traditionally been used to induce labour and should not be used for this purpose without direct medical supervision.

Do not use internally if you have unexplained abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, suspected intestinal obstruction or an acute gastrointestinal condition.

Excessive or prolonged laxative use can cause dehydration and electrolyte disturbances. Castor oil should not be used routinely for “detoxification” or gastrointestinal cleansing.

Do not apply to broken or significantly irritated skin without appropriate healthcare advice.

Castor oil should not be relied upon to treat ringworm, allergies, arthritis, warts, moles, cysts, infections or other medical conditions.

There is insufficient evidence to claim that topical castor oil directly stimulates hair regrowth. It is better used as a conditioning oil for the hair and scalp.

Castor oil packs have not been established to “detox” the liver, kidneys or body.

Keep out of reach of children.
