Essentially KateS Castor Oil is a large 16 fl oz cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil in a glass bottle with pump, scented with olive and peppermint for versatile hair and body use.

This 16 fluid ounce glass bottle combines pure, cold-pressed castor oil with subtle olive and peppermint notes, presented in a reusable glass container with a convenient pump. Sourced and prepared without hexane or synthetic additives, the oil is intended for cosmetic and topical uses on hair and skin.

How should I use this castor oil for hair?

Use a small amount warmed between your palms, applied to the scalp or hair lengths to add conditioning and manageability. It can be used as a pre-shampoo treatment, a light overnight oil, or mixed with other carrier oils for targeted applications.

• Apply 5–15 mL to dry or damp hair, focusing on scalp or dry ends.
• Massage gently for 2–5 minutes to distribute oil and improve coverage.
• Leave 30 minutes to overnight before shampooing for a conditioning treatment.
• Use the pump to dispense controlled amounts to avoid waste.

What makes this bottle and formula different from other castor oils?

This product is supplied in a large glass bottle with a pump, reducing plastic contact and offering a spill-resistant dispenser for easier dosing. The oil is cold-pressed and labeled hexane-free to indicate no solvent extraction was used, and it’s subtly blended with olive and peppermint for scent and a refreshing finish.

• 16 fl oz glass bottle helps preserve oil integrity and reduces plastic exposure.
• Pump dispenser ensures repeatable, measured application.
• Cold-pressed and hexane-free processing retained natural constituents.
• Olive and peppermint notes give a light, natural scent profile.

Can I use this castor oil on skin and nails?

Yes—castor oil is commonly used as an emollient for dry skin patches and to condition cuticles and nails. Apply a small drop, massage in, and allow time to absorb; use a carrier oil blend if you prefer faster absorption or lighter feel.

• Massage a few drops into dry elbows, heels, or cuticles as needed.
• Mix with lighter oils (jojoba, almond) for a less viscous serum.
• Use nightly for targeted moisture and softer skin texture.
• Patch test first to check personal sensitivity before widespread use.

How should I store and measure this oil to keep it fresh?

Keep the glass bottle capped and stored away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry spot to protect the oil's quality. The pump makes portion control easier; dispense small amounts until you determine your ideal routine frequency.

• Store in cupboard or drawer away from heat and sunlight.
• Use the pump to deliver consistent amounts and reduce exposure to air.
• Close the cap after each use to minimize oxidation and contamination.
• Use within manufacturer guidance for best shelf-life; refrigeration is optional if you prefer.

Who is this for: Essentially KateS Castor Oil in the 16 fl oz glass bottle suits anyone looking for a large-quantity, minimally processed cosmetic oil for hair, scalp, body, and nail care. It works well for people who prefer glass packaging, value cold-pressed and hexane-free processing, need a pump for easy dispensing, or those maintaining a small spa or salon kit.
