This oil is pressed from organically grown castor beans. Castor oil is a potent cosmetic ingredient, used for thousands of years on the skin and hair.

Where does Lush purchase organic castor oil?

The evergreen castor bean shrub is thought to be native to eastern Africa. Its oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds. Before it can be sold, it undergoes a clarification (cleaning) process using heat. The resulting oil is a thick pale yellow liquid that is colourless, odourless and tasteless.

Lush UK* sources the oil from two suppliers based in India. Our first supplier is in the Kutch region and works with a network of over 800 organic castor farmers. Our second supplier works with 400 organic farmers in Vasai, Maharashtra and Ahmedabad.
