WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil is a thick castor oil that nourishes and fortifies the hair, beard, eyelashes and nails, while it protects dry areas of the skin. Rich in ricinoleic acid, this castor oil is a classic for oil baths and scalp massages aimed at stronger, fuller-looking hair. It comes in a 75ml recycled plastic bottle with a dropper insert.

Key Benefits

  • Stronger-looking hair: used regularly as an oil bath, it fortifies dry, brittle hair and limits breakage and split ends.
  • Eyelashes: a few drops brushed on each evening with a clean mascara wand help fortify the lashes.
  • Beard care: two or three drops nourish, soften and tame the beard.
  • Nails and cuticles: one drop massaged in every evening leaves nails nourished and fortified.
  • Dry areas: dense and protective, it softens heels, elbows and hands overnight.

Key Ingredients

Castor seed oil, Ricinus communis, is the only ingredient. It is cold-pressed from the seeds of the castor plant, grown mainly in southern India. Its ricinoleic acid, joined by linoleic (omega 6) and oleic acids, gives the oil its dense, viscous texture and its protective film on hair and skin.

How to Use

For an oil bath, apply castor oil to the whole head of hair, working from the roots to the ends, leave it on for at least one hour or overnight, then shampoo as usual. For the lashes, brush on a few drops each evening with a clean mascara wand. For the beard or nails, massage in two or three drops. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse well if it happens. Do not swallow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil on my hair?

Use it as an oil bath: spread the oil over all your hair from roots to ends, leave it on for at least an hour, or overnight, then wash with your usual shampoo. Used regularly, WAAM explains that it fortifies the hair and limits breakage and split ends.

Can WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil be used on eyelashes?

Yes. WAAM suggests applying a few drops to the lashes each evening with a clean mascara brush. Like hair, lashes are made of keratin, and the oil helps fortify them. Keep it out of the eyes and rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.

Is WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil good for a beard?

Yes. Two or three drops massaged into the beard nourish and soften the hair and help discipline it for a neat look. Its thick texture means a very small amount is enough, so start with one drop and add more if needed.

Why is WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil so thick?

Castor oil is naturally dense and viscous, unlike most vegetable oils. This texture comes from its high content of ricinoleic acid and gives it a protective effect on dry hair, lashes and skin. Warm a little between your palms to spread it more easily.

What else can WAAM Cold-Pressed Castor Vegetable Oil be used for?

WAAM recommends it for dry skin, applied in the evening to heels, elbows and hands, and for nails and cuticles, with one drop massaged in each night. A few drops also nourish dry, chapped-feeling lips.
