Annam Castor Oil is 100% pure castor oil derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant. Naturally thick and viscous with a pale yellow to colorless appearance, castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid that contributes to its emollient and humectant properties. It is widely used in personal care routines for conditioning dry skin, softening rough patches, nourishing nails and cuticles, and for traditional hair and brow/lash conditioning. Commercially produced castor oil does not contain the ricin protein found in raw castor seeds; the oil is a vegetable triglyceride commonly used in cosmetics and as a carrier oil. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly closed to maintain freshness.

For use, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for sensitivity before broader application. For hair, warm a small amount between your palms or mix with a lighter carrier oil, massage into the scalp or apply through the lengths, leave for 30 minutes to overnight, then shampoo as usual. For lashes and brows, apply a very small amount with a clean spoolie or cotton swab at night, taking care to avoid direct contact with the eyes. For skin, massage a thin layer onto dry areas or mix with a lighter oil for full-body use; apply sparingly to avoid greasy residue and protect fabrics as the oil can stain. Do not ingest without medical advice; consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have sensitive skin or a medical condition.
