The Power of 100% Pure Organic Castor Oil
A Clean Beauty Essential with Proven Results
Our organic castor oil benefits range from hair regrowth and brow thickening to nourishing dry skin and soothing itchy scalps. It’s a cult favourite for good reason—this organic cold pressed castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid known to deeply moisturise, support hair follicles, and promote healthy circulation. Whether you’re massaging it into your scalp as an organic hair oil, applying it to your lashes, or using it in a homemade balm, the results are deeply restorative.
Many of our customers choose organic castor oil for eyes (always used externally) as part of their clean beauty routine. If you're sensitive to chemical additives, our hexane free castor oil options provide peace of mind. For those serious about ingredient integrity, our 100 pure organic hexane free castor oil delivers everything you want—and nothing you don’t.
Why Cold Pressed and Hexane Free Matters
We only stock cold pressed castor oil, extracted without solvents or high heat, which preserves the oil’s full nutrient profile. Pair that with a hexane free castor oil promise, and you’ve got a bottle of pure, potent plant oil without compromise. Our oils meet the highest standards of clean beauty, making them ideal for organic castor oil for hair, castor oil for dry scalp, and even delicate uses like castor oil for brows and around the eyes.
This is chemical-free castor oil that works with your skin and hair — not against it. Use it straight from the bottle or incorporate it into your organic oil for beauty routine alongside your favourite natural products.

You can buy organic castor oil directly from The Good Stuff. We offer high-quality organic cold pressed castor oil, organic hexane free castor oil, and 100 organic cold pressed castor oil with reliable delivery across South Africa. Additionally, retailers like Dis-Chem stock Afri Pure Organic Castor 100 Pure Oil 50 ml, which is a convenient option at local pharmacies.

Is castor oil BP organic?
“BP” stands for British Pharmacopoeia quality—this focuses on purity but doesn’t inherently mean organic. Organic castor oil sold here is cold pressed, hexane free, certified organic, not necessarily BP-grade, but meets the clean, chemical-free standard you expect.
How to use organic castor oil?
Use organic castor oil uses topically: massage it into the scalp for castor oil for hair growth, smooth it over dry skin, or apply small amounts to lashes and brows. As a castor oil moisturiser, it seals in hydration. It can also be used in compresses for joint or muscle relief. Always patch test first and avoid contact with eyes.
Where to buy organic castor oil eye drops?
Opt for organic castor oil for eyes from trusted wellness retailers like The Good Stuff. Castor oil is sometimes used in the eyes as an alternative to preservative-heavy drops—but always consult your optometrist before use.
Can I use organic castor oil to grow my eyelashes?
Yes. Applying organic castor oil for eyelashes and castor oil for brows is a popular natural option to promote thickness, using its nutrient-rich, cold-pressed formula. Always apply carefully to avoid eye irritation.
Can organic castor oil harm your eyes?
While many use it safely, organic cold pressed castor oil may cause irritation or block tear ducts if not used properly. Use only a tiny amount, avoid direct contact, and stop use if irritation occurs.
Does Dis-Chem sell organic cold pressed castor oil?
Yes. Dis-Chem stocks Afri Pure Organic Castor 100 Pure Oil 50 ml, a pure castor oil option. They may also carry other natural castor oil or organic castor oil lines in-store or online.
Is organic cold pressed castor oil bad for eyes?
If unrefined organic cold pressed castor oil enters the eyes, it may irritate. It's not inherently “bad,” but use cautiously, applying externally with precision.
What is the organic castor oil used for?
Organic castor oil uses include skin hydration, hair nourishment, lash and brow enhancement, joint massage, and gentle healing supports. It’s also used in compresses and natural moisturisers.
What does rubbing castor oil on your feet do?
Rubbing it on your feet—as a castor oil moisturiser—can soften dry heels and thick skin. Some people believe it helps with relaxation or detox when used as evening foot massage.
What are the disadvantages of castor oil?
Potential issues include greasy residue, clogging pores if overused, allergic reactions, and strong laxative effects if ingested improperly. Eye application may also trigger irritation.
What kind of castor oil is best?
For purity and effectiveness, choose organic cold pressed castor oil, especially hexane free castor oil—these retain bioactive nutrients without harsh chemicals.
Can castor oil reduce belly fat?
No scientific evidence supports castor oil reducing belly fat when applied topically or ingested. It's often used to support digestion or relieve constipation, but not weight loss.
Can castor oil remove dark spots?
Topical use of organic castor oil may improve skin tone and hydration, potentially lightening dark spots over time—but results vary and there's limited clinical research.
What to look for when buying castor oil?
Seek key product qualities: organic, cold pressed, hexane free, and pure. Look for trusted certifications, minimal packaging in dark glass, and South African sourcing or stock availability.
Does castor oil draw out toxins?
The notion that castor oil “draws out toxins” via compresses or topical use is popular in alternative care, but lacks robust clinical backing.
Can I drink organic castor oil?
Internal use is not recommended without medical supervision due to strong laxative effects. It's primarily intended for external use.
Does Woolworths sell organic castor oil?
No
What’s the difference between Jamaican castor oil and organic castor oil?
