WHY WE STOCK IT
A 100% pure, certified-organic castor seed oil that is cold-pressed without hexane or added ingredients. Its thick, conditioning texture helps reduce moisture loss and soften dry, rough or flaky skin.
 
This Health Canada–licensed topical oil is also used to help remove common warts, relieve itchy skin and treat seborrhea and age spots.
 
BEST FOR
Adults seeking a rich, single-ingredient oil for targeted dry or itchy patches, seborrhea, age spots or confirmed common warts.
 
New, changing, bleeding or unfamiliar skin marks should be professionally assessed before applying any home treatment. Castor oil is not intended to remove moles, birthmarks or skin tags.
 
HOW TO USE IT
Adults 18 years and older: Apply 1 teaspoon—5 mL—to the affected area three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
 
For common warts, apply daily for at least three weeks. Wash your hands after treating a wart unless the hands themselves are being treated.
 
Castor oil is naturally thick and may stain clothing, towels and bedding. Begin with a smaller amount when using it simply as a moisturizer.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
For external use only. Do not swallow or use as an oral laxative. Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse thoroughly with warm water if contact occurs.
 
Do not use if you have diabetes or poor circulation. Do not apply to infected, irritated, reddened or broken skin.
 
Do not apply to moles, birthmarks, facial or genital warts, warts with hair growing from them, or the eyes, mouth or other mucous membranes.
 
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use during pregnancy. Castor-oil packs and heating pads should not be used over the abdomen during pregnancy unless specifically approved by a healthcare professional. Avoid excessive heat to prevent burns, particularly in anyone with reduced skin sensation.
 
Stop use if redness, swelling, burning, rash or another hypersensitivity reaction develops. Consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms worsen, persist or do not improve with regular use.
Seek assessment for rapidly changing, irregularly shaped, unusually coloured, bleeding or nonhealing skin lesions rather than assuming they are age spots or warts.
