INCI: Ricinus communis seed oil

Jamaican Black Castor Oil is a rich, dark castor oil made using a traditional roasting and pressing method that gives it its deeper colour and distinctive character. It is commonly used in hair and scalp routines where a more cushioning, long-lasting oil feel is wanted, and it also works well in balms and intensive body care blends. This is an oil-soluble ingredient, so it can be used neat in small amounts or blended with lighter oils for easier spread. It is a cosmetic oil rather than a water-based treatment.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Jamaican Black Castor Oil because it brings a fuller, more characterful feel than standard castor oil and works especially well in richer hair and body routines. It is a useful staple for makers who want a deeper, more protective oil profile in anhydrous blends.

Q: Why is Jamaican Black Castor Oil darker than regular castor oil?
A: The traditional roasting step deepens the colour and changes the overall character of the oil.

Q: Can it be blended with lighter oils?
A: Yes. Oils such as jojoba or grapeseed can make it easier to spread and reduce the overall heaviness.

Q: Is it suitable for skin as well as hair?
A: Yes. It is commonly used on very dry-feeling areas, though it can feel quite rich on some skin types.

Q: Does it absorb as quickly as lighter carrier oils?
A: No. It generally has a slower, heavier feel than lighter oils, which is part of why it is often used in targeted or protective routines.
