Beauty born from the ashes. Like our popular, pure, cold-pressed castor oil, Heritage Store Black Castor Oil nourishes and nurtures your skin, hydrates your hair for added strength, fullness, and shine, and helps bring out your boldest brows and most beautiful lashes. Black Castor Oil, however, is made using the traditional African method of pressing and boiling roasted castor beans to create a naturally occuring ash that gives the oil a rich, dark color. This ash has been said to support cleansing and nourishment to hair follicles. Black Castor Oil is rich in omegas, minerals, and ricinoleic fatty acids that help to moisturize dry areas and smooth the appearance of uneven or discolored skin.
