Castor Oil (32 Fluid Ounces Liquid)
Pure Castor Oil - Cold-Pressed Natural Emollient -
Cold pressed and cold processed. Excellent for massage into joints and muscles. Hexane & Paraben free.
Castor Oil is a natural emolient that penetrates the surface layers of the skin making it softer and more supple.
The effects of externally applied Castor Oil can be enhanced through the use of a "castor oil pack" - a piece of wool flannel saturated with the oil and applied to the body. Use of a pack allows the greatest penetration in a specific area of the body. The application of heat further increases this penetration, allowing the oil to better impart its qualities to the body.
Instructions for the preparation and application of castor oil packs are supplied with each package of Home Health White Wool Flannel.
Home Health creates truly effective personal care products based on traditional, natural ingredients. Our Castor Oil is the finest quality available. It is cold pressed and cold processed and contains no artificial ingredients.

What is a carrier oil?

In massage and aromatherapy, relaxing and aromatic essential oils play a big part in the calming experience. While beneficial for relaxation, essential oils can be volatile, and sometimes even irritating to the skin due to their concentrated nature. For this reason, a carrier oil is used to dilute the essential oil to make it safer and easier to apply to the skin.

Carrier oils are vegetable oils with popular varieties including almond, avocado, grapeseed, and jojoba oils. They range in color and source, but the best quality carrier oils are produced via cold pressing or cold expeller pressing. For the best results, select a carrier oil with little or no aroma, so the scent of your essential oils can really shine.

How to mix oils with carrier oils

Mixing your essentials oils with carrier oil is simple. Start with one ounce of carrier oil, and add six drops of your essential oil. Stir to mix for a dilution ratio of approximately one percent. While you may add more drops to make a stronger blend, it’s always best to start light.

You can also use carrier oils to create your own infused oils by selecting a base oil and adding your favorite botanicals to soak for a period of time. Store your infusions in an airtight container, away from light, while they do their magic.

Can coconut oil be used as a carrier oil?

Yes! The key is to choose a coconut oil that remains liquid at room temperature, as opposed to solid. Fractionated coconut oil is a liquid version of this popular and versatile oil and is great for mixing.

Shop The Vitamin Shoppe for your favorite carrier oils and essential oils to mix up relaxing and reinvigorating blends for aromatherapy and massage.
