Castor Oil

Desi Grub Cold-Pressed Castor Oil is a rich botanical oil extracted from the seeds of Ricinus communis. Known for its naturally thick, viscous consistency, castor oil has long been valued in traditional beauty and personal-care routines.

Its distinctive composition is dominated by Ricinoleic Acid, which accounts for approximately 90% of its ricinoleate triglycerides. It also naturally contains essential Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids and Vitamin E.

The richer consistency makes it particularly suitable for intensive conditioning—whether worked into the scalp and hair, applied to brows and lashes, or used on dry heels and cuticles. It can also be incorporated into traditional dietary practices when appropriate.
