Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Jamaican Black Castor Oil is a traditional, nutrient-rich oil made from castor beans that are roasted, ground, and boiled to extract the dark, aromatic oil.
The roasting gives it its signature dark brown color and increases the ash content, which enhances its hair-strengthening properties.

Benefits of Jamaican Black Castor Oil

For Hair

• Promotes hair growth – Helps stimulate follicles and improve circulation to the scalp.
• Thickens thinning hair – Its dense, viscous texture coats hair strands, helping reduce breakage.
• Improves scalp health – Has antifungal and antibacterial properties that support dandruff control.
• Strengthens and moisturizes – Rich in ricinoleic acid, which deeply moisturizes and seals moisture into hair.

For Skin

• Deep moisturizer – Helps with dry, flaky skin.
• Supports wound healing – Ricinoleic acid has anti-inflammatory effects.

For Brows, Lashes & Beards

• Promotes thicker, fuller growth with consistent use (apply sparingly with a clean spoolie).
