FAQ
Q: Can castor oil clog pores?
A: Pure castor oil is actually low on the comedogenic scale, but it’s thick — so it's best diluted with a carrier oil to avoid buildup.
Q: How long before I see results?
A: Results vary, but most people notice softer skin and stronger brows/lashes within 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
Q: Is castor oil safe for all skin types?
A: Yes, but always do a patch test first. Some people with sensitive skin may experience irritation if used undiluted.
Q: Can I use it on my lips or under my eyes?
A: Absolutely! Castor oil is safe for both areas — just avoid getting it into your eyes.
Q: What’s the best time to apply it?
A: Right before bed, as it works best when left on overnight.
