It reaches you in dark glass, which protects the oil from light, and we import it directly from the producers. According to the label it is a cosmetic raw material.

What is in the bottle
What is inside and what is not
Inside is one thing: unrefined, cold-pressed castor oil.
No diluents and no additives. The composition on the label is a single entry: Ricinus Communis Seed Oil.
Why this oil
Three things that set it apart
Packaging that protects the oil
Dark glass limits how much light reaches the oil, and light speeds up the oxidation of fats. Glass is also a tight barrier to oxygen and moisture and is inert towards the oil. It is recyclable, too.
No refining
The label says it plainly: the oil is unrefined and cold-pressed, so it has not been through refining. The extra thick version flows slowly and has a characteristically thick consistency.
From the producers, no middlemen
We import the oil directly from the producers. A shorter supply chain means better control over the batch, and every batch has a number on the label.
Storage
Dark glass is half the job
According to the label, keep the oil tightly closed, in a dry, ventilated room, at below 20°C. Protect it from light.
Dark glass does its part, but temperature and a tight seal matter too. Properly stored, the oil keeps its quality for longer.

Did you know?
A plant named after a tick
The Latin genus name Ricinus means tick. The seeds of the castor bean plant have a mottled pattern and a shape that reminded old botanists of a tick. Hence the name of the plant, and from it the name of the oil: castor.
