{"product_id":"castor-oil","title":"Castor Oil","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCastor oil, cold pressed from the seeds of Ricinus communis, is a thick, glossy carrier prized for its ricinoleic acid content and staying power. Use it in small amounts to soften dry skin and hair, condition lashes and brows, and give essential oils a rich, clinging base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCastor oil is the densest carrier in most cabinets, and that thickness is the point. Cold pressed from the seeds of Ricinus communis, it is pale gold, distinctly viscous, and slow to move from the bottle. It does not vanish into the skin the way jojoba does. It sits, seals, and leaves a soft shine. Almost ninety percent of the oil is ricinoleic acid, a rare fatty acid that gives castor its ability to readily penetrate deep into the surface layers of the skin. People keep it for dry patches that have not responded to lighter oils, for the ends of the hair, and for lashes and brows that want a simple overnight condition. On the body, a thin film after bathing can make rough heels and elbows feel markedly more comfortable by morning. This is not an all-over face oil for everyone. It is too heavy and too glossy for that. Used with a light hand—or blended with a thinner carrier so it spreads—it becomes one of the most useful bottles you can own. The aroma is mild and faintly nutty. The feel is unmistakable. Castor oil is strength, not speed. Warm it first. Use less than you think you need.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven \u0026 Stem","offers":[{"title":"30mL Dropper","offer_id":45084067364957,"sku":"SS-CAS-30ML-DROP","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120mL Cap","offer_id":45084067397725,"sku":"SS-CAS-120ML-CAP","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/1159\/6125\/files\/CASTOR-OIL-30ml-dropper.webp?v=1789725996","url":"https:\/\/sevenandstem.com\/products\/castor-oil","provider":"Seven \u0026 Stem","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
