From what I gathered, the Black Castor oil was better or more potent so that's where I began. Then I compared brands and their reviews. First and foremost, whatever oil I purchased needed to be nonGMO & organic. Also, I didn't want any other additives. In my search, I found that Heritage Store brand seem to have the highest ratings & the fairest price. I chose to order it through desertcart because of the free Prime shipping available at the time. My reason for wanting to purchase was for moisturizing my skin. I have very dry skin at times on my face, which to me is embarassing. I could be a zombie, due to the way my skin flakes at times. A little exagerated but it does have an effect on self esteem. I've been using combinations of Red Palm Oil, Coconut Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, & Raspberry Seed Oil... either on their own for a few months, or in combinations. I found that so far the Castor Oil, on its own, seems to do a better job of keeping my face supple. Keep in mind, this oil is very thick, a little goes a long way. I received this the last wk of Dec 2016, and I've only gone through 2 or 3 Tbspns. (see photo). It's now mid Feb 2017. It may be too thick for most people to wear throughout the day. For me, I don't mind. I rather my face have a sheen for now while it's healing than have patches with flakes of skin. I also apply this on my lips right before going to bed. This seems to last longer than the Coconut Oil too, where it seems to absorb too quickly. My lips feel great in the morning. One last thing I'd like to mention is that there is a nutty smell which some people may not like. The smell is usually more noticeable when first applied but dissipates minutes later (at least to me). I don't mind it as long as it's a natural product & it works. ***Update 4-14-17*** I've seen a noticeable improvement in my facial complexion. It no longer dries out like it used to. I still use this oil, but now even thinner coats and I usually apply once before makeup (basic eye shadow, liner, mascara, & lip color... no foundation), and then again at night after washing my face but I apply little around eyes & use on my lips. I'm so pleased with the results! I've broken out less too (as in pimples). At this rate, this bottle should last up to another year! The level is still above the label. I couldn't ask for more. Yes, it took some time for my skin to heal, but I didn't mind. I know natural products need time to work. This was still a faster over all improvement than all the oils I had used in the past, with even better immediate results. I sincerely recommend this oil! The seller I used was "BIGFLY". I feel that it's important to post the seller used too, because some use knockoffs. This can be helpful when finding different results between people & sellers. Review: AMAZING PRODUCT! - INCREDIBLE VALUE FOR SOOOO MANY USES. Bought it to brush on eyelashes overnight and within a few weeks used consistently, they are thicker and longer! but now use it for many other areas - so thick and wonderful to use with coconut oil and rose hip oil.

The ash created by the roasting process gives the oil its rich, dark color and powerful beauty benefits to the hair and scalp. **Q: What hair types benefit most from a black castor oil treatment?** A: Ultra-hydrating and packed with fatty acids and other nutrients, black castor oil is very nourishing to the hair and scalp. Persons with dry/damaged hair or curly hair with a tendency to frizz benefit greatly from the oil’s conditioning properties. **Q: Can I use black castor oil in place of a body oil?** A: Yes! This rich oil is an excellent moisturizer. Use it on heels, elbows or dry patches of skin. Or try it in wellness packs: Soak a flannel cloth with the oil (warmed is best) then place cloth over your abdomen or other areas and relax for an hour. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm Very Satisfied with This Oil So Far *by C***Z on February 15, 2017* I heard good reviews about castor oil in general, so I searched and compared different brands and types (black & regular).
