Frequently asked questions
Is castor oil good for eyelashes?
The brand markets it for that use, and it is a common home remedy approach, but always patch test first since this is not a medical treatment claim.
Will it feel heavy on my face?
Likely yes. Castor oil is naturally thick and sticky, so it tends to feel heavier than lighter facial oils like jojoba or argan.
Is it pure and undiluted?
It is labeled 100 percent pure, cold pressed and hexane free according to the brand.
