Your Questions. Answered.

What time of day should I use Castor Oil?

Castor Oil can be used whenever it fits your routine best. Many people apply it to the scalp, brows, or lashes in the evening and leave it on overnight, while others use it during the day on dry areas of skin.

 It’s also commonly incorporated into castor pack rituals as part of a wind-down routine.

What other products should I be using with Castor Oil?

That depends on your goals. Try using Castor Oil on lashes and brows at night and using the Rosewater Cleanser and Moisturizer in the morning to start your day with a simple skin care routine. 

You can also try one of our targeted Castor Oil blends, such as Rosemary, Tea Tree, or Cayenne. For castor pack rituals, many people also use a cotton or wool flannel and gentle heat to create a more intentional self-care experience.

Does Castor Oil contain quality ingredients?

Yes. Heritage Store Castor Oil is made with a single ingredient: Ricinus communis (Castor) Oil. It is cold-pressed, and every ingredient is reviewed as part of our quality standards before becoming part of a finished formula.

Where is the best place to purchase Castor Oil?

You can purchase Heritage Store Castor Oil directly from heritagestore.com, where you'll find our full collection of Castor Oil products and formats. Heritage Store products are also available through select natural grocery stores, wellness retailers, and online marketplaces.

How often should I be using Castor Oil?

Frequency depends on how you incorporate Castor Oil into your routine. Some people use it weekly as part of a scalp or castor pack ritual, while others apply it daily to brows, lashes, or dry areas of skin. Consistency is often more important than quantity, so choose a routine that feels sustainable for you.

Customers Also Ask

What is Castor Oil used for in a beauty routine?

Many people use it as part of their hair, scalp, brow, lash, and skincare routines thanks to its rich, nourishing texture. 

Heritage Store Castor Oil is cold-pressed and naturally rich in skin and hair-loving nutrients, making it a versatile addition to beauty rituals both big and small. It’s also a favorite for castor packs and other wellness practices.

How do you use Castor Oil for hair care?

Castor Oil is commonly applied directly to the scalp and works through the hair from root to tip. Massage a small amount into the scalp, then distribute through the lengths of your hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes or overnight before shampooing and conditioning as usual. Many people incorporate it into weekly hair rituals to help hair look thicker and fuller.

Can Castor Oil be used on lashes?

Yes. Castor Oil is often used on lashes as part of an evening beauty routine. For precise application, dip a clean mascara spoolie into the oil and gently brush it through lashes before bed. This simple ritual is also popular for brows and can easily become part of your nightly routine.

What is a Castor Oil pack?

A Castor Oil pack is a traditional wellness practice that uses Castor Oil and a piece of wool or flannel placed on the body. To create a castor pack, saturate the fabric with Castor Oil and place it over the abdomen or desired area.

You can also add gentle heat and relax for a period of time as part of their self-care routine. Castor packs have remained a beloved Heritage Store ritual for decades because they encourage people to slow down and create intentional moments of care.

How does Castor Oil help moisturize dry skin?

Castor Oil is deeply nourishing and helps soften areas that need extra attention. Its rich texture deeply nourishes, helping skin appear smooth and conditioned. 

Apply it to dry areas like elbows, knees, cuticles, and hands, while others use it as part of facial or body care rituals. A little goes a long way, making it an easy addition to any routine focused on soft, healthy-looking skin.

Never received product

"Horrible customer service I ordered and I hadn’t recieved an update about my order in weeks I attempted to contact support and the store and the only thing that was said is to cancel my order because it was delayed and might not be shipped.

I really could not tell

"I really could not tell you because when I received my product, it was all inside the packaging. I addressed customer service, to no avail. I sent pictures of the product with no more than 1 ounce of Castor Oil in the bottle when I opened the packaging. It is my hope that you will acknowledge my issue . I want a refund. It has been over 3 weeks that I have been sending the pictures to customer service p. I’m all set I just want a refund."

Q&A

can your castor oil be taken internally?
Hi there! We can’t make any specific recommendations as a cosmetic but some people on their own will take it internally as a food grade product. Thank you.
Hi I have a bottle of castor oil that is yellow ..the expiration date is March 2024.. Why did it turn yellow is it still good?
Hi there! The color can vary from batch to batch. Typically the oil has a tint of yellow to it - sometimes it is a darker yellow and other times it's very faint. It is safe to use prior to the expiration date, but we cannot recommend using it after it has expired. Thank you!
Hello, I've been buying your Caster Oil for some time now but recently came across some information claiming that Caster Oil in plastic bottles are unsafe. I'm aware that your Castor Oil is in PCR bottles but all that means is that the bottles can be recycled. Can you please provide some more information regarding the type of plastic used to store the caster Oil? I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi there! Thank you for your question concerning the Heritage Store Castor Oil in Plastic Bottles. The plastic we use is BPA Free and the Castor Oil isn't leaching any harmful chemicals from the plastic. The product is tested for herbicides, pesticides, microbes, bacteria, heavy metals, and purity and potency. We also have the Organic Castor Oil in a glass bottle if you're interested in this one instead. If you have any additional questions please call the Nutritional Products Helpline at the number on your bottle or 1-800-227-6063. We’re open Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (local MT), where Product Specialists are available to help you.
Does castor oil help get rid of age spots and scars?
Hi there! We do not have clinical testing results that can verify that Castor Oil will remove age spots and scars. Thank you!
I just bought this Castor oil for my eyebrows etc. Can I use it on wounds like scrapes and scratches. I have 3 that are looking a little infected.
Hi there! The Castor Oil can be used as a nourishing moisturizer but we would recommend consulting your primary care provider before using it as a treatment for wounds. Thank you!
