I have a big bottle of castor oil. I was wondering what I can do with it. Or even how to make homemade beauty stuff with it.

Re: Castor Oil
Sat, June 17, 2006 - 8:18 AMThe best of what I know is to use it as a conditioner. It/s supposed to make hair stronger, thicker, shinier and darker. Indian women apparently use it a lot. Leave it in over night or for as long as you can and then wash it out.
Let us know what you think! ;-)

Sat, June 17, 2006 - 9:11 AMmix it with an equal part extra virgin olive oil and wash your face with it
there have been a few threads in here about using castor oil this way.
another thread suggested mixing the castor oil with another oil because it's pretty viscous and is difficult to work into the hair. maybe someone else can find that one for you... -

Sat, June 17, 2006 - 4:26 PMYeah, good tips..I was thinking of adding it to my shampoo. You know what's funny. Is that I have purchased this indian shampoo with arnica in it & it had a oder of castor oil. That's actually a good idea to add it to your hair. I'm gonna mix it in with my shampoo. I will try as a hair treatment with oilive oil/castor. -

Sun, June 18, 2006 - 7:40 PMa bellydance teacher told me once to take a small bottle of castor oil, add a slice of lemon rind and masssage it into my lash line in the evenings. She said that she used to do it when she was dancing all the time and that she never had to wear mascara and people always thought that her lashes were fake because they bacame so thick, full and long... I have yet to try it, but its an idea. -

Re: Castor Oil
Sun, June 18, 2006 - 10:05 PMso she basically mixed castor oil with lemon juice and applied it to her lashes? -

Re: Castor Oil
Mon, June 19, 2006 - 5:38 AMlemon rind is not lemon juice. it's the peel, grated lemon peel. -

Re: Castor Oil
Mon, June 19, 2006 - 9:04 AMright, JUST the rind. The YELLOW part only, no white at all. -

Re: Castor Oil
Tue, June 20, 2006 - 12:46 AMSo how did she do it? Use the rind to massage the oil onto the lashes? -
-
Re: Castor Oil
Tue, June 20, 2006 - 8:36 AMNope, just massage a bit of the oil into your lashes, she left the rind in the bottle, I guess to get some of the lemon oil into the castor oil and she left it on all night while she slept.

Re: Castor Oil
Tue, June 20, 2006 - 2:59 PMCastor oil is a standard ingredient in commercially produced lipstick. Castor oil is a vegetable oil obtained from the castor bean. Ricin, a poison, is made from the waste “mash” produced when castor oil is made. Castor oil, though nasty as hell, is not toxic. It is sometimes used to ease constipation or induce vomiting. Larger amounts (like a whole bottle) can induce labor in near term pregnant women. Did I mention that it tastes TERRIBLE? -

Thu, June 22, 2006 - 5:11 PMI haven't used Castor Oil for beauty treatments, but I use it for sinus infections, ear infections and cysts. My naturopath recommended I massage it into the skin over the affected area because it draws out toxins. Personally I hate the heavy feel of it on my skin, but it works for me so I do it.

Re: Castor Oil
Tue, February 27, 2007 - 8:10 PMI'm using two pre-made oils right now for my face, and noticed the one with a castor oil base made me break out, whereas the one with a peanut oil base did not.
Does anyone have any idea about the difference between standard-beauty remedy oils? When should I use peanut, when should I use olive, or almond, or jojoba?
I'd love the help. Thanks. -

Re: Castor Oil
Wed, February 28, 2007 - 4:57 PMpeanut? really? hmmm...i would never use peanut oil as a topical, i must do more research on that one, but as far as the others go, in my own experience jojoba is excellent for hair, and almond is good for the skin while olive is good for both. -

Wed, February 28, 2007 - 7:56 PMI am intrigued with that hair (and lash) treatment. I have a little bottle of it which I got to treat a super painful plugged milk duct when I was nursing - worked like a charm. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Castor Oil
Thu, March 1, 2007 - 8:25 AMI'm intrigued by the lash thing, too--my lashes and eyebrows have always been a bit lighter and sparser than I'd like. I don't like mascara much, though--just for performance--so something that makes them darker all the time would be better.
I've been putting it on my top lash line and eyebrows with a Q-tip, but I'm not consistent...I'm wondering how long it takes to see results? It certainly conditions them nicely, and I *think* my eyebrows have been regrowing hair, but that could be the normal indication I need to tweeze a bit. Can't tell.

Re: Castor Oil
Fri, August 7, 2009 - 3:32 PMIf you broke out then you have a beauty product that does not have a therapeutic castor oil but a heat treated oil - not cool.
Castor oil does not block your pores if it is truly cold pressed. I have used Palm'Hydra for about 1 year now and would not give it up for anything!

Re: Castor Oil
Fri, August 7, 2009 - 3:42 PMThere is a toxic substance in the husk of the castor beans. It can contaminate the oil ONLY if the oil is not cold pressed according to European standards. The oil in the US says not to take internally and has expiration dates and weird "certification" nonsense (more talk than fact) ... I would not trust those. There is castor oil cold pressed and solvent free from a Canadian source and there is an organic oil too so everyone can be happy. Palma Christi Gold is the organic one. No risks with it or the regular oil Palma Christi l'Originelle. FYI -

Re: Castor Oil
Fri, August 7, 2009 - 3:28 PMOh! Almost everything!! Look for castor oil from India though - it is the ONLY one that is not sticky when you use it. The company has an organic oil too Palma Christi Gold. It stops pain and inflamation, it is great on a paper cut and callouses. It is even a natural lubricant ... yes ladies you can put it there too. Help you grow long healthy nails and lashes .... But you don't want the sticky stuff - trust me!! -

Re: Castor Oil
