Castor Oil: My 5 Benefits
Castor Oil: My 5 Benefits
A History I Trust - I love that castor oil has been used since ancient Egypt for beauty and healing. There’s something grounding about leaning into a ritual that’s been around for centuries.
“Nature’s Botox” Effect - While it doesn’t freeze like Botox, it gives my skin a natural tight, smooth look. For me, it’s more about long-term vitality rather than a quick fix.
Nighttime Ritual - I apply a drop before bed, usually under my eyes (tap, don’t rub) and/or on fine lines, in which case, I massage it in with upward strokes. RESULT: It feels like I’m nourishing my skin while I sleep.
Hydration That Lasts - It moisturizes your skin not only because it contains triglycerides, but also because it draws moisture from the air. It’s rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid that helps smooth and soften the skin. The deep hydration plumps the skin, which I’ve noticed especially after long flights when my skin needs a reset. I also use it on my arms when they get dry; leaving it soft and smooth without feeling heavy.
Affordable & Natural - A simple, clean, and accessible beauty option, allowing me to nourish my skin with something so pure & no frills, just results.
For me, castor oil has become a quiet luxury in my wellness routine, gentle, effective, and timeless. Please note, if you’ve not used it before, I definitely recommend doing a test patch on the inside of your wrist to see if you have any reactions to it.
To your vitality,
