Description
Organic Ricin (castor) Oil (Ricinus communis) is a unique, viscous, film-forming oil, being the densest of all vegetable oils. It is the classic product for the care of eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair, as well as an indispensable staple ingredient in makeup. It stands out for its versatility as it also provides benefits in the care of very dry areas of the body, offering deep and long-lasting emollience.
Characteristics
- eco Culture: Organic, certified
- water_do Appearance: Yellowish liquid, very high viscosity, neutral scent
- verified_user Quality: Cosmetic grade, cold-pressed
Ingredients: Ricinus Communis Seed Oil*
*100% of the total ingredients come from organic farming. COSMOS ORGANIC certified by Ecocert Greenlife.
Main Properties
- checkFilm-forming, protective: The ricinoleic acid in its composition forms a persistent protective film on the surface of the skin and hair, locking in moisture and preventing dehydration.
- checkStrengthening hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows: It improves the resilience of hair strands, gives them a thicker, more vigorous appearance, and adds a natural shine.
- checkIntense emollience: Instantly softens areas with severe dryness or roughness (heels, elbows, cracked hands) and maintains hydration for a long time.
- checkSoothing for weather-exposed skin: Helps restore skin comfort in case of chapped lips or skin assaulted by wind and cold.
- checkNail and cuticle care: Nourishes the nail matrix, reduces its brittle and fragile appearance, and softens hard cuticles.
Usage & Synergies
Face care
On the face, Ricin oil is not a routine ingredient. Due to its characteristic texture, it is primarily used in skin cleansing formulas because it effectively dissolves lipophilic impurities, in lip balms and lipsticks, as well as in eyelash serums.
Practical recommendations
- Eyelash and eyebrow serum: Apply with a clean mascara wand, either pure Ricin oil or diluted 1:1 with Caprilis in the evening. The film formed nourishes and reinforces the strand.
- Ingredient in cleansers: Incorporate as an ingredient in anhydrous cleansing oils and balms. It effectively breaks down waterproof makeup.
- Ingredient in lip balm: Add to lip balms as well as lipsticks, due to its humectancy and adherent texture that forms an unctuous layer on the lips.
Synergies in face care
As an eyelash serum, the synergy with Organic Jojoba Oil diluted 1:1 balances the overly dense texture. As an ingredient in lip balms, it associates with Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Macadamia Oil, Beeswax.
Body care
At the body level, Ricin oil typically enters the formulas of repairing ointments and balms, solid soaps, and body salves.
Practical recommendations
- Ingredient in repairing ointments: Incorporate at 10-20% into ointments for cracked, severely dry, or damaged skin.
- Ingredient in CP soaps: Produces a dense, creamy lather in handcrafted soaps. It is generally used at 5-10%.
- Nail care: Apply pure to dry cuticles or fragile nails in the evening. The persistent film softens and deeply hydrates.
Synergies in body care
As an ingredient in hand and foot balms for cracked skin, the synergy with Lanolin, Ceramides, and Shea Butter completes the regeneration and protection.
Hair care
This is the area of excellence for Ricin oil. It is a strengthening treatment for thin, fragile, or damaged hair and a must-have ingredient in hair masks for reinforcement and shine.
Practical recommendations
- Strengthening scalp serum: Mix 50% Ricin oil with 50% Caprilis or Jojoba Oil to fluidize the texture. Massage into the scalp, leave on for 30-60 minutes, then shampoo well.
- Ingredient in masks: Incorporate at 10-20% into masks for fragile hair or hair prone to breakage.
- Ingredient in hair conditioner: Add at 5-10% into conditioners and conditioning creams for extra shine and smoothing of the fiber.
Synergies in hair care
It blends well with Burdock Oil, Argan Oil, Amla Oil, Babassu Oil, and essential oils of Ylang-Ylang, Cedarwood, Rosemary, Sage.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is it true that Ricin oil accelerates the growth of eyelashes and eyebrows?
Ricin oil does not alter the genetic biological growth rate of the hairs, but it intensely fortifies their structure. By deeply nourishing from root to tip, it reduces the premature breakage of eyelashes and eyebrows, making them appear visibly thicker, denser, and more vigorous.
How to apply it correctly to the hair without leaving it weighed down or sticky?
Being a very dense oil, it is used as a pre-wash treatment (mask). Apply a small amount to the scalp or lengths, let it act for 20-30 minutes, then shampoo well twice. Alternatively, for a lighter application, you can dilute it in equal parts with a more fluid oil (jojoba, caprilis).
If it is so dense, will it clog my pores?
Ricin oil has a low comedogenicity rating. However, due to its texture, it is not comfortable to apply pure to the face; it is recommended to use it as a makeup remover (blended with other fluid oils) or locally on very dry areas.

It is an extraordinary oil that I use as such on the face but also in the preparation of cold soaps which gives them more foam and a creamy texture. It has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and can be used daily especially by people who have acne being non-comedogenic. It also stimulates hair growth and prevents excessive hair loss. I particularly recommend using the organic version.

Castor oil, an excellent vegetable oil , repairs damaged nails, lips, or in combination with other products, can be a useful treatment for very dry hair or skin.

It really regenerates eyelashes, eyebrows. Sometimes I also apply it around the eyes, but carefully, not near the eye lining. It moisturizes the skin, although it is a thick oil. Happy with the product. I recommend.

A very different oil from vegetable oils in general, it is very viscous and ultra moisturizing. It gives the skin and hair a protective layer with a shining effect, nourishes and soothes the skin, strengthens and promotes nail, hair and eyelash growth.

This oil is my favorite ptr to moisturize the skin around my eyes and that does not irritate the eyes at all, on the contrary it soothes the eyes after spending hours on the phone . The commercial one is not as good as this oil from Elemental. You have excellent products. This oil deserves 10 stars.

It's a precious oil that I use in soap recipes, especially for hair soaps. Good to know is that it's not only good for the scalp, but used on the body, soap containing castor oil is a powerful emollient.

Castor oil is very good. After a few applications you notice differences. On the scalp, on the eyelashes, on the skin. It's thick and can irritate the mucous lining of the eyes if it gets in the eyes but with care it has spectacular effects.
