I’ve been using castor oil like forever… I picked it when starting my adventure with hair oil treatment and growing long hair. Despite its consistency and smell, it’s my all-time favorite. I tested castor oil from different brands and there was always something wrong – the oil was too thick, had no applicator or it was hard to smooth it across the skin or hair. While looking for another one to try, I discovered the marvelous Nanoil Castor Oil and fell in love with it right away! You can get more details below.
Is there a perfect castor oil for beauty routine? Sure there is! I bought another bottle of Nanoil so I guess it’s time for a review.

Organic, unrefined, cold-pressed
Castor oil is extracted from the beans of castor plant. This exceptional product was known already in ancient Egypt! It’s even said to be Cleopatra’s beauty enhancer. Egyptians would cold-press, mix it with water and boil it. Women used it on hair for faster growth, thicker strands and more shine. Castor oil was also used on minor cuts and burns, and it’s still used this way. Known for soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, castor oil speeds up skin healing and lessens scars. It has a light yellow color and is thick.
Benefits of castor oil for beauty
Castor oil is infused into both body and hair care products. It can be used solo or mixed with cosmetics. Thanks to being loaded with ricinoleic acid (90 percent), it’s quickly soaked up by the skin and hair. What’s special about castor oil is the great similarity to sebum that our skin produces naturally. Thanks to this feature the oil deeply penetrates the dermis and also creates a protective coating on the skin surface to protect it from external aggressors such as extremely high or low temperature, UV rays, pollutants, dust or smog. Castor oil has a strong softening and hydrating effect therefore it is commonly added to products for very dry skin, over-processed hair, brittle ends or weak lashes and brows. Surprisingly, it can be even used for removing make-up – it is the most popular ingredient in oil-based removers.
