Castor oil has gained MASSIVE popularity in recent years for supporting skin, scalp, hair, and overall wellness; but what many people don’t realize is that how castor oil is extracted matters just as much as using it.
Most conventional castor oils on the market are extracted using chemical solvents, most commonly hexane. Hexane is a petroleum-derived solvent used to increase oil yield; but trace residues can remain behind in the final product.
BORN Naturals uses 100% organic, hexane-free, expeller-pressed castor oil, meaning:
-
No chemical solvents
-
No petroleum residues
-
No harsh processing
-
No compromise on purity
Why does this matter?
Castor oil is often used topically and repeatedly on the scalp, skin, abdomen, neck, and joints. Using a clean, solvent-free oil reduces the toxic burden on the body and supports healthier skin absorption.
Castor oil is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid known for:
-
Supporting circulation and lymphatic flow
-
Helping calm inflammation
-
Nourishing dry skin and scalp
-
Supporting hair follicle health
When applied as a pack or oil treatment, castor oil penetrates deeply into the tissue... which is why purity is non-negotiable!
At BORN Naturals, we chose organic, hexane-free extraction because we believe healing tools should support the body; not add to its toxic load!
