A Heritage of Healing: Castor Oil Refined for Modern Care
Commendable Castor Oil, rich in remedying ricinoleic acids and emollient esters, is a skilled soother and superlative satiater of all manner of skin conditions with a herculean history as a detoxifying decongestant that loves the liver and lymph. Cold pressed castor, a classic staple of ancient apothecaries, and unique in its thick viscosity, was prepared into healing unguents and ointments by the early cultures of Egypt, India, Japan, China, and Persia. Clarifying Castor keeps eyelashes and brows lush as it eases the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and dry skin.
Living Libations clarifying Castor Oil performs like a dream and is very viscous, yet much less sticky than common castor oil. Grown from heirloom seeds in organic, mineral-rich red soil, this cold-pressed Castor Oil is truly authentic, and a talented triglyceride lipid composed of concentrated skin-conditioning fatty acids, 90 percent of which are rare ricinoleic acids. This thick, lubricative oil is free of bleaching, which is a common practice with castor.
When activated with essential oils, quenching Castor Oil sinks into skin faster, feels less sticky, and keeps the Castor at its best. Enjoy the pure performance and upgraded effectiveness of classic castor with these simple Castor Oil Combos:
Castor + Frankincense
The combination of skin satiating Occulta Frankincense and Castor Oil quenches dryness with decadence and an otherworldly glow. Dab upon pigmented patches and blemishes, slide on for deep facial massages, and roll-on to brows and lashes.
Castor + Rose Otto
The Rose Queen slips into Castor Oil's emollient scene to silken, scent, and strengthen skin like a dream. Moisturize skin and dab upon pigmented patches and blemishes, slide on for deep facial massages, and roll-on to brows and lashes.
Castor + Rosemary
Rosemary’s verve saturates Castor Oil's viscosity to enhance absorption as it seeps into skin and scalp. Massage into hair and scalp. Dab upon pigmented patches and blemishes, slide on for deep facial massages, and roll-on to brows and lashes.
There are endless applications for this apothecary staple:
-
Skin Salvation - Castor Oil goes deep to balance hyperpigmentation, scars, and stretchmarks, along with easing bumps and blemishes.
-
Massage - It has the perfect viscosity for deeper massages and face yoga. For medium viscosity, mix with your fav Best Skin Ever or serum. Combine with Jasmine Joy Souffle, Love Butter or a Best Skin Ever for super dry patches, like calves, elbows, heels, and knees.
-
Hair Love - Castor Oil is the gold standard for hair growth. Apply to eyelashes, eyebrows, and scalp. It defends hair from split ends.
-
Castor Oil Packs - Skin-salving topical use includes applications of Castor Oil packs for glandular or organ areas like the thyroid, belly, and liver.
HOW TO USE
Dab, deep massage, or roll onto to skin to lubricate, hydrate, and nourish dry areas: hyperpigmentation patches, scalp, hands, heels, bellybutton, elbows, eyebrows, lashes, under eyes, eyelids, neck, and decollate.
Due to its thickness, Castor Oil is more easily absorbed when applied to damp skin and it is even easier to apply over a Best Skin Ever or serum. It is also lovely in combination with a DewDab. Simply apply drops of DewDab neat, and then apply an occlusive layer of Castor Oil with an Ozonated DewDab Balm.
Complexions graced with Castor Oil feel replenished and renewed, enveloped in its skin-conditioning and satiating embrace.
HOW TO MAKE A CASTOR OIL PACK
Gather your supplies: Mason jar, organic Castor Oil, cotton flannel, a thicker towel or plastic protective barrier to cover the cotton flannel, and a hot water bottle or an infrared heating pad.
1. Cut the flannel into three strips sized to suit the area of the body you are covering, and soak the flannel in castor oil in the Mason jar. Shake the jar every so often to soak all areas of the cloth.
2. Create the time and space to relax with a pack for at least an hour, or set up for overnight. Castor oil stains so set up the area with older towels or wear older clothes.
3. Place the soaked cloth strips over the area to treat. Cover with the plastic or protective barrier, and apply the heat source. Relax for an hour or more as the castor works its magic.
4. Wash the flannel strips in natural laundry soap with baking soda to remove the Castor Oil. Put clean flannel strips in the Mason jar to soak, and store it in the fridge until you are ready for another pack.
