Skincare Gold
I recently bought this castor oil and have been using is with Biome 90g Jojoba Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil and Hemp Seed Oil for my face cleanser. I use the recipe on the Biome blog for oil cleansing. I used to use just rosehip oil for my oil cleansing but found I didn't get the results I wanted. This castor oil is great for drawing out all the clogging dirt and gunk in my skin. I'm so glad I found an alternative to harsh chemical cleansers which irritated and dried my skin out. Great size in a great little bottle which I can reuse once it is empty.
Great for DIY skincare
I've made the cleansing facial oil using this oil in combination with a few others and I love it.
Ethics
I bought this recently to use for oil cleansing. The product is good quality and the oil works well to cleanse my face, though it is drying when in the wrong ratios.
I have been reading up on castor oil recently however, and have read that the harvesting of castor oil is very dangerous for growers and processors. It would be great if Biome could supply some more information on the conditions for workers in India!
