Sometimes the best additions to your self-care routine are also the simplest. doTERRA Castor Oil is a rich, nourishing carrier oil that can be used from head to toe, and a little goes a long way!
Castor oil has been used in beauty and personal-care routines for generations. doTERRA Castor Oil is cold-pressed, hexane-free, USDA Certified Organic, and rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique omega-9 fatty acid. Its thick, luxurious texture makes it especially nice for areas that need a little extra moisture, such as dry hands, elbows, heels, and cuticles.
What Makes Castor Oil Different?
Unlike lighter carrier oils, Castor Oil has a naturally rich, thick consistency. It helps moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
doTERRA Castor Oil can be used on its own or paired with your favorite doTERRA essential oils as part of your regular self-care routine. It can also be used to support healthy-looking hair and scalp or as part of a castor oil pack routine.
A few simple ways to use it include:
- Apply a small amount to dry heels, knees, elbows, or cuticles.
- Massage it into the scalp as part of your hair-care routine.
- Add a few drops to your nighttime skincare routine.
- Use it as a carrier oil with your favorite doTERRA essential oils.
- Keep a small bottle nearby for dry hands and cuticles.
