FAQ — Pure Castor Vegetable Oil (manufacturer)

First, BioProGreen Castor Oil is a premium cold-pressed oil from Ricinus communis seeds, then carefully filtered for clarity. Moreover, it is naturally rich in ricinoleic acid (~85–90%) and vitamin E, delivering cushiony nourishment for hair, lashes, brows, skin and nails. Consequently, it supports stronger-looking strands, a comfortable scalp and supple skin with a protective feel. Finally, discover our broader range in the Vegetable Oils collection.

What makes BioProGreen Castor Oil different?

In short, traceable sourcing, gentle cold extraction and repeatable quality. In addition, we provide both pure retail fill and bulk drums with batch documentation for pro use. Therefore, it integrates easily into hair oils, lash/brow serums, nail care and skin-repair routines.

How to use it — hair, lashes/brows, skin & nails (step by step)

1. Hair & scalp: warm a few drops; massage on scalp 5–10 min; smooth through lengths; leave 30–60 min; shampoo well.
2. Lashes/brows: with a cleaned spoolie, sweep a tiny amount nightly; avoid the waterline and direct eye contact.
3. Skin: dab on dry areas (heels, elbows); mix with a lighter oil for faster absorbency.
4. Nails: massage into nails and cuticles daily to improve comfort and appearance.

Additionally, start 2–3× per week, then adjust. Alternatively, blend with lighter carriers (jojoba, almond) for a thinner feel. For procurement, you can request a quote.
