Castor Oil

Through extreme heat exposure and chemical purification processes, refined or hot-pressed castor oil loses almost all of its valuable vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. At Anadoa Naturhaus, we offer you only 100% pure, cold-pressed castor oil. This gentle process fully preserves the plant's complete biological potential – entirely free from hexane, synthetic additives, or mineral oils.

Yes, in natural cosmetics, the oil is considered a real powerhouse for hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Thanks to its extremely high ricinoleic acid content, it deeply nourishes the hair roots, strengthens the shaft structure, and protects the fine hairs from premature breakage or falling out. With regular use, it ensures visibly healthier, stronger growth and gives eyelashes and brows more optical volume.

Due to its dense, honey-like texture, castor oil is an excellent moisture booster for mature, extremely dry, or stressed skin, as it penetrates deep into the skin layers and can stimulate the skin's own collagen production. For daily facial care in the evening, just 2 to 3 drops on slightly damp skin are sufficient. If you find the consistency too thick, you can ideally combine it with lighter oils or our ready-made castor & rose oil blend.

Although castor oil has a very rich and viscous texture, it scores very low on the comedogenicity scale (usually around 1). This means that it generally does not clog pores, and the skin can continue to breathe freely despite the intensive barrier care. Since it is also traditionally valued for its anti-inflammatory properties, it can even be used topically to care for blemished skin.

Pure, genuine essential rose oil is highly concentrated and should never be applied directly to the skin undiluted, as it can cause irritation. In our exclusive Castor & Rose Oil blend, cold-pressed castor oil acts as the perfect, nutrient-rich carrier base. This combination unites the structure-strengthening properties of castor oil with the cell-regenerating effects and the long-lasting, luxurious scent of genuine Isparta rose oil for an exclusive spa experience.

Since cold-pressed castor oil has a very dense and rich viscosity, it absorbs somewhat more slowly than conventional, light body lotions. If you use it as an intensive overnight hair treatment or as a rich facial care in the evening, massage the oil in well and ideally let it absorb for 10 to 15 minutes before going to bed. To protect your textiles, it is recommended to place an old towel over your pillow during an intensive treatment or to wrap your hair in a shower cap or a warm turban towel.
