Why Use e3’s Castor Oil

Castor Oil is an excellent choice if you want to enhance the thickness and luster of your hair or are looking for a natural remedy for dry, irritated skin. That’s because Castor Oil is renowned for its rich moisturizing and conditioning properties. It’s extracted from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, with a high concentration of ricinoleic acid. This unique fatty acid is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties. 

How You Can Use e3’s Castor Oil

• Hair: Castor Oil is thick and viscous and this texture is ideal for hair masks, providing deep conditioning and supporting hair health from root to tip. Since it can be a bit sticky, you may want to use older towels or clothes when applying to your hair.
• Skin: When applied to the skin, it’s a powerful moisturizer, locking in hydration and leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. Thanks to its therapeutic properties, it can also be used to create soothing balms and ointments for minor skin irritations, cuts, and bruises.
• Blending with essential oils: With its neutral scent, it will not alter the fragrance profile of your aromatherapy applications. When combining essential oils with carrier oils, follow the instruction leaflet included with each essential oil, paying attention to the safety guidelines.

Best Carrier Oil for Essential Oils

General Information About Carrier Oils

Carrier oils are also known as base oils, massage oils, and fixed oils. They are extracted from various types and parts of plants, including the nuts, seeds, leaves, and flowers.

Carrier oils are used in aromatherapy to dilute essential oils to a level that is safe to use on the skin. They mainly consist of fatty acids or lipids. These fatty acids have therapeutic properties that add additional benefits to an essential oil blend.

When combining essential oils with carrier oils, follow the instruction leaflet included with each essential oil, paying attention to the safety guidelines. As with essential oils, carrier oils can be blended together to create a synergy. For example, to make a rich massage oil for dry skin, add some jojoba oil to sweet almond oil. For mature skin, add some rosehip seed oil or for wound care add some tamanu.

At Essential 3, we select what we believe to be the best carrier oils. Whenever possible, we use unrefined versions of the oils as they contain more natural constituents, including vitamins and other beneficial ingredients.
