Haitian Black Castor Oil (Glass Bottle, Cold-Pressed) — Rosemary & Peppermint
Product description
This offering is a 3.4 fl oz glass bottle of Haitian black castor oil that is cold-pressed and presented unrefined. The formula you’ll find in the bottle is blended with rosemary and peppermint essential oils to address dry, itchy scalps and to impart a cooling, invigorating aroma. The product is labeled hexane-free and solvent-free to highlight that no chemical extraction agents were used.
How it’s produced: the castor seeds are processed using a traditional Haitian method that includes roasting, grinding and cooking the seeds. That unrefined preparation preserves a darker color and a stronger, more natural scent compared with refined alternatives. The oil functions as a natural humectant and is often chosen for its thick, nourishing texture.
How to use: apply directly to the scalp and massage with the fingertips to aid absorption — avoid contact with the eyes. For a deep conditioning treatment, add a few drops to your regular conditioner or warm the oil and use it as a hot-oil treatment for 30–60 minutes with added heat; for severely damaged hair you can leave it on overnight. As a moisturizing routine, perform scalp massages or hot-oil treatments to boost softness and manageability. If leaving the oil on overnight, cover hair with a plastic cap to trap heat and enhance penetration, then shampoo thoroughly in the morning.
Packaging and feel: the oil is thick and concentrated, so a little goes a long way, particularly on coarser curl patterns. Unrefined oils retain more of their original color and aroma, which is intentional in this formulation. The glass bottle helps protect the oil’s integrity and gives a premium feel.

CCC 5/5
Noticeable regrowth and strength
I used the rosemary blend for thinning edges and within two weeks noticed new baby hairs. After a month my length increased by over an inch using it twice weekly. The oil is thick—I have 3C/4A hair—so a little is enough. Hair looks shinier and healthier.

Gentle on sensitive skin
Makes my skin very smooth and soft. I have very sensitive skin and this didn’t bother me at all.

Longtime user with label concerns
I’ve trusted castor oil for decades and liked this brand. Lately packaging changed and the label no longer reads exactly as before, so I’ll compare bottles before buying again. Hoping the formula remains the same.

Lavender aroma and soft finish
I love the lavender scent. The oil is thick so you might want to blend it with lighter oils at first. It leaves skin feeling very soft and is very effective.

Hydrates well; choose unscented if sensitive
Hydrates the scalp effectively. If you don’t like fragrances, pick the original unscented version, which is much milder in scent.

Quality feel and lovely scent
I’ve used castor oil for years and this delivers on quality. The papaya-scented version is surprisingly pleasant, which makes it easier to use on hair, face, and hands. Glass bottle and cold-pressed labeling reassure me about purity. I keep a larger, more economical bottle for heavy use but reserve this for targeted care.

Authentic, scented option
Bought for my mom—she says it seems authentic and of good quality despite being scented. Would buy again.

Helps existing hair but limited for bald spots
Smells great and seems to encourage length, but I didn’t see new growth where my hair was very thin. Appears to work best on current hair rather than creating new follicles.

No More Tea For You 5/5
Surprised by facial benefits
I bought this for hair but found it excellent with my facial routine alongside other moisturizers. The scent is pleasant and a tiny dab on brows and lashes seemed to thicken them. Caution: it sits close to the eye area, so it may irritate some people; test first.

Refreshing minty aroma
Fresh mint scent and leaves hair soft and hydrated. I’ll be repurchasing.
