Description
Castor Carrier Oil (Organic) brings the same thickness, gloss and staying power as the standard oil. Nothing changes in how it spreads, coats or feels on skin and hair; what changes is the organic certification behind the harvest and processing.
This is most relevant when building a fully organic formulation, where every ingredient, including a heavyweight material like castor, needs verified sourcing. Choose this version when organic certification is part of what the finished product promises.
Shelf Life: Users can expect a shelf life of 24-48 months with proper storage conditions (cool, out of direct sunlight). Refrigeration after opening is recommended.
