Virgin organic castor oil, cold-pressed - Certified COSMOS Organic Ecocert
The castor plant (Ricinus communis) is native to India and Egypt. Historically, it was nicknamed "Palm of Christ" - its leaves resemble hands. Its seeds were already used for makeup removal and as fuel for oil lamps in ancient times.
🔻 Biovie's castor oil is a 100% pure vegetable oil, derived from castor seeds (Ricinus communis) grown in India. It is the most respectful method for extracting a vegetable oil while preserving its active ingredients: the seeds are first heated to 82°C for 30 minutes to denature ricin (an essential step for cosmetic safety, as raw ricin is toxic), then the oil is extracted cold using a hydraulic press - without solvents, without chemical treatment.
Certified COSMOS ORGANIC by ECOCERT and COSMEBIO, it is particularly recommended for strengthen and nourish the nails, , promote the density of eyelashes and eyebrows, , taking care of dry hair and dry skin, and help reduce hair breakage. Specifically, this Organic castor oil 500ml is the reference vegetable oil for natural cosmetic care - from the finest to the most curly hair.
🔻 How to use organic castor oil 500ml daily ?
A tablespoon on the lengths before shampooing, two drops on the eyelashes each night, a quick massage on the nails before sleeping. This is what a simple castor oil routine looks like. Its texture is thick—thicker than most vegetable oils—and this is precisely what makes it a remarkable enveloping treatment for areas that need it.
- Hair care: how to use castor oil for hair:
Hair care remains the flagship application. In pre-shampoo mask, Apply a few drops to the scalp, massage for 5 minutes, cover with a warm towel, and leave on for 30 to 60 minutes before rinsing. Repeat 1 to 2 times a week. Visible results in hair density and strength are generally observed after 4 to 8 weeks of regular practice. To facilitate application (as its texture is naturally thick), I recommend mixing it in equal parts with a more fluid oil - jojoba, hemp, camelina, or argan work very well.

- Eyelash and eyebrow care:
A drop each evening on the eyelashes and eyebrows, applied with a fine brush a clean or an old washed mascara brush (yes, that's exactly what we use at home). Expect 6 to 8 weeks of regular use to achieve fuller lashes and better-defined eyebrows. Practical tip: a few drops in an empty mascara tube are enough for effortless daily application. It's one of the simplest treatments to implement - and one of the most visibly effective over time.
- Care for brittle nails:
Massage 1 to 2 drops onto each nail and cuticle in the evening before bed. Nails regain flexibility and strength after a few weeks of regular application. Ideal for brittle or damaged nails from polish. If you work a lot with your hands and your cuticles get damaged, the same routine works wonders.
- Care for dry and dehydrated skin:
Softening and nourishing, castor oil is particularly suitable for very dry skin, rough hands, cracked feet, and elbows. Apply it pure or diluted in equal parts with sweet almond oil on the area, then massage until absorbed. You will find the skin more supple from the first applications.
- Natural makeup remover:
On a washable cotton pad, apply a few drops either pure or diluted in sweet almond oil. Castor oil effectively dissolves resistant makeup (waterproof mascara, long-lasting lipstick) without irritating the skin - and the excess deeply nourishes the skin. A simple cosmetic alternative to conventional makeup removers.
- Ingredient for homemade cosmetics:
If you make your own skincare products, organic castor oil is an outstanding basic ingredient: solid shampoos, lip balms, body butters, DIY care oils. The 500 ml size is perfectly calibrated for 3 to 6 months of regular cosmetic use.

🔻 Its cosmetic properties:
Composition and cosmetic ingredients :
What sets castor oil apart from other vegetable oils is its exceptional concentration of Ricinoleic acid - between 80 and 92% of its total composition. No other common vegetable oil reaches such a rate. This explains its very particular texture, both enveloping and adhesive on the fiber. Its COSMOS Organic certified INCI composition is as follows:
- see you later 80% ricinoleic acid, an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid responsible for the enveloping and strengthening properties of this oil
- ofstearic acid, with emollient, nourishing, and protective properties
- oflinoleic acid, which contributes to the comfort of skin prone to dryness
- ofPalmitic acid, a natural component of the skin barrier
- of Vitamin E, natural antioxidant
- Hair, eyebrow, and eyelash care:
Frankly, it is in hair care that this oil stands out the most. Its concentration of ricinoleic acid (80%+) contributes to strengthen weakened hair fibers and reduce breakage. It adds volume and shine to dry, damaged, fine, and frizzy hair. For eyebrows and eyelashes, a daily application with a fine brush for 6 to 8 weeks allows for visible results in density.

- Skin and nail care:
Softening, repairing, and nourishing, Virgin castor oil is ideal for dehydrated skin, dry hands, and feet. Massage each of your nails at bedtime with a few drops to strengthen them and reduce breakage - a simple gesture, with results after 4 weeks of regular use that may surprise you.
- Natural makeup remover:
Its thick and adhesive texture dissolves all traces of makeup without irritating the skin. Apply it neat on a washable cotton pad, then gently massage the face - the excess deeply nourishes the skin. You can dilute it in a more fluid oil (sweet almond, jojoba) for easier application. And it's a use that I see mentioned very often in customer feedback.
🔻 Why choose the 500 ml format ?
The format 500 ml in an opaque tin bottle offers the best compromise for regular use: a sufficient quantity for 3 to 6 months of hair and facial use, optimal protection against light, and a more advantageous price per liter than the 100-250 ml formats. This is the format we recommend by default to those who are discovering castor oil or who wish to integrate it into their routine without committing to a large volume.

Anaé®
Castor seeds are grown in India according to organic farming standards, then pressed to extract a virgin cold-pressed oil. The seeds are preheated to 82°C for 30 minutes to denature ricin (a toxin naturally present in the raw seed) - a mandatory step that ensures the cosmetic safety of the final oil.
Cold pressing by hydraulic press does not require neither solvent nor chemical product, which guarantees a 100% natural and pure oil. No subsequent heat treatment is applied: all the initial cosmetic properties of the oil are thus preserved.
This oil benefits from a double certification: COSMOS ORGANIC by ECOCERT and COSMEBIO, ensuring a controlled organic supply chain from the seed to the bottle.

Cosmetic usage precautions
In external cosmetic use, organic castor oil is generally very well tolerated. The CIR Expert Panel (2007, PMID 18080873) concluded that castor oil is safe under normal cosmetic and topical use conditions - this is the official safety reference for the cosmetic industry. As with any natural cosmetic, I recommend to perform a preliminary skin test on a small area (such as the crook of the elbow) before the first use. If redness or itching occurs, discontinue use. There you go, a simple precaution that only takes 24 hours.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Organic Castor Oil
Is organic castor oil safe in cosmetics ?
In external cosmetic use (hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails, skin, makeup removal), organic castor oil is safe for the vast majority of people. Ricin, a substance present in raw seeds, is neutralized by heating to 82°C during manufacturing. The CIR Expert Panel (2007) concluded its safety under normal cosmetic usage conditions. Perform a patch test prior to first use.
What is the difference between organic and non-organic castor oil ?
COSMOS Organic certified organic castor oil ensures that the seeds have been grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and that no chemical solvents were used in the extraction process. The non-organic version may contain treatment residues — an important consideration for a product used daily on the skin and hair.
How to use organic castor oil on hair ?
Apply a few drops to the scalp, massage for 5 minutes, cover with a warm towel, and leave on for 30 to 60 minutes before shampooing. Repeat 1 to 2 times a week. To facilitate application, mix 50% castor oil with 50% of a lighter oil (jojoba, hemp, argan). Results on hair density and strength are generally observed after 4 to 8 weeks of regular practice.
Does castor oil make eyelashes and eyebrows grow ?
Castor oil helps to thicken and strengthen the fibers of eyelashes and eyebrows due to its richness in ricinoleic acid (80-92%). A daily application with a fine brush for 6 to 8 weeks allows for visible results. Practical tip: a few drops in an empty mascara tube make evening application easier.
Is the 500 ml size advantageous ?
Yes, the 500 ml opaque tin bottle offers a usage duration of 3 to 6 months depending on the frequency of application, with a much more attractive price per liter compared to the 100-250 ml formats. The opaque packaging protects the quality of the oil. For more intensive or professional use, the 5L canister is the most economical.
What is the best organic castor oil ?
Opt for a virgin oil, cold-pressed and certified COSMOS Organic: these criteria ensure the quality of extraction and the absence of chemical residues. The translucent to slightly golden color and the neutral odor are two reliable indicators of quality. Check out our comprehensive comparison of the best organic castor oils →
