Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil is a virgin castor oil, cold-pressed from the seeds of Ricinus communis and certified organic. Pranarôm recommends this naturally thick oil as a nourishing care for hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and nails. It comes in a 50ml amber glass bottle or in a 100ml large size fitted with a pump.

Key Benefits

  • Nourishing hair care: protects and nourishes dry, damaged hair and brings shine to dull lengths.
  • Brittle nails: a drop each evening nourishes the nail and its cuticles and helps fortify soft, fragile nails.
  • Lashes and brows: a traditional beauty oil for eyelashes and eyebrows.
  • Virgin quality: pure and natural, from the first cold pressing of the seeds.
  • Organic and vegan: certified organic, vegan, with all ingredients of natural origin.

Key Ingredients

Organic castor seed oil, naturally rich in essential fatty acids, nourishes the scalp and the hair fiber from roots to ends. A touch of natural vitamin E (tocopherol) protects the oil from oxidation. Nothing else is added: no fragrance, no color.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil on my hair?

Use it as a pre-shampoo hair mask two to three times a week. Pranarôm advises massaging the oil into dry hair, covering it with a warm towel and leaving it on for half an hour to an hour before washing with shampoo. As the oil is thick, two shampoos may be needed to rinse it out.

Can Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil be used on nails?

Yes. Pranarôm recommends one drop on each nail every evening at bedtime, massaged in with extra attention to the cuticles. This simple routine nourishes the nail and its cuticles and helps fortify nails that feel brittle, soft or fragile.

Does Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil suit all hair types?

Yes. Pranarôm states that castor oil suits all hair types, including dry, colored, thick and even oily hair. For oily hair, the brand suggests applying it to the ends only, so the lengths are nourished without a greasy feel at the roots.

What is the difference between the 50ml and 100ml Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil?

Only the size and the cap. Both contain the same organic, virgin, cold-pressed castor oil with natural vitamin E. The 50ml comes in an amber glass bottle with a screw cap, while the 100ml large size comes in an amber glass bottle fitted with a pump.

Can I swallow Pranarôm Organic Castor Vegetable Oil?

No. Pranarôm sells this castor oil for external use only and advises against taking it internally. Keep it for your hair and nails, store it away from heat and light, and keep the bottle out of the reach of young children.
