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.

Genuine product

It’s the real deal! I’ve used the Jamaican mango and lime range of black castor oils before and it smells just like that but I got it here for way less of the price. It’s thick but blends well with other lightweight carrier oils which I love. Great product for hair growth!

Instant results!

I love a good buy and this is absolutely it! A little went a long way to have my hair feeling hydrated and strong after I'd made a hair and body butter mix with part raw shea butter and part jamaican black castor oil. My only regret is not getting these gems sooner!

Besides the amazing service. This Castor oil is the best my hair has grown since using it. It's thick meaning you don't need much so it will last longer but I like the rawness it has. Will continue buying it. Love it
