It is incredibly rich in antioxidants, minerals, proteins, vitamin E, anti fungicide, and antibacterial properties.
Before you rush out and grab any ol’ castor oil from the grocery shelf, you will get the anti aging benefits if the oil is organic, old pressed and hexane free. Cold pressed means it still contains all its valuable nutrients, and it should be a very pale or light yellow in color.
To use it on your face, rub a little over your face and under and above your eyes, its consistency is a little sticky and thick, so you will need to use it sparingly. The best time to use it is at night before you go to bed.

Warm up about 1/2 cup of castor oil in a pot, make sure it is not too hot. Apply the oil to wet hair and massage into your scalp, cover with bath cap and leave for around 15 min, then wash as usual. Try to avoid getting too much castor oil on your hair, as it is quite thick and can be difficult to wash out.

Thank you so much for this website. It’s so informative and practical. I’m a devout reader from Malaysia. With regards to castor oil, we can’t really find the cold pressed and hexane free ones here. Could you recommend 1) a good brand of castor oil and 2) a reliable online company that sells the castor oil?
Appreciate your time and effort.
