This castor oil is 100% plant-based and organic and is carefully made from seeds of the green fruits from the wonder tree: the Ricinus Communis. The tree is cultivated in India, East Africa and the southeastern region of the Mediterranean Sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes castor oil so special is that it consists of about 85 to 90% ricinoleic acid. This is a unique fatty acid that occurs in virtually no other plant oil. It gives the oil its thick, viscous texture and its reputation for richly nourishing and enveloping skin, hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your hair?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is the oil to give your hair the ultimate care. Castor Oil makes damaged and dull hair (from for example dyeing, blow-drying and styling) grow longer and healthier, giving you beautiful and shiny hair again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a little oil to your hands and distribute it through lightly damp hair and on the scalp. Let the oil work for a few hours and then wash the hair with your usual shampoo. Castor Oil is a full and thick oil and can sometimes be difficult to wash out of the hair. Therefore it is advisable to dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as almond oil or coconut oil. You can apply the oil to your hair several times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for eyelashes and eyebrows?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil is a popular natural remedy for eyelashes and eyebrows, but apply it wisely. Pure castor oil is too thick and viscous for the fine hairs, and mainly stays as a film layer on the outside. Therefore always dilute the oil with a lighter oil such as jojoba oil or argan oil, in a ratio of about 1 to 3. This way the hairs are nourished, shiny and fuller in appearance, without becoming too heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor convenience, apply the mixture to an old mascara brush or cotton swab, so you can distribute the oil evenly over the eyelashes and eyebrows. You can use the oil daily. Be careful that the oil doesn't get into your eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your skin?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil has a special role in skincare. Due to its thick structure it stays on the skin for a long time and forms a protective layer that prevents moisture loss. But what makes castor oil really special is that it actually works very well for oily or combination skin. That sounds contradictory, but the ricinoleic acid has a light cleansing effect and helps dissolve excess sebum, without drying out the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore castor oil is an ideal ingredient in an oil cleanser. According to the oil cleansing principle, oil dissolves sebum, not water. A mixture of about 20 to 30% castor oil with 70 to 80% lighter oil such as jojoba oil or sweet almond oil cleanses the skin thoroughly without disrupting the natural skin barrier. Massage the mixture into dry skin, place a warm washcloth on it and wipe off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you use Castor Oil for your beard?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCastor Oil nourishes the beard like no other. Through the stimulating effect, bald and thinner spots in your beard are intensely cared for, so that a full and even beard grows again. Castor Oil also works effectively on the mustache.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply the oil to your hands and massage into beard and mustache. Give some extra attention to the spots that could use more oil. You can use the oil daily, but applying it two to four times a week also works perfectly for the desired effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips when using Castor Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCastor Oil is a remarkably thick and viscous oil. This is normal and comes from the unique composition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use on hair, on eyelashes and eyebrows or as a facial cleanser, it's best to mix the oil with a lighter oil such as jojoba oil, argan oil or sweet almond oil.

Our squalane is completely plant-based and extracted from olives, much more animal-friendly and equally effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSqualane is technically not an oil but a saturated hydrocarbon (C30), which is created through hydrogenation of squalene. That sounds complicated, but simply means: very stable, long shelf life and not susceptible to oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Squalane made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlives naturally contain a small amount of squalene, the unsaturated precursor molecule of squalane. This squalene is extracted from the olives and then gently hydrogenated, creating squalane. Through this step, the substance becomes exceptionally stable and barely oxidizes, while retaining its skin-compatible properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Squalane so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur skin naturally produces squalene, which makes up about 12 to 13% of our own sebum. From our twenties onwards, this production gradually decreases, contributing to drier, less supple skin. Applying squalane to the skin is therefore an almost direct supplement to something we naturally already produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its unique molecular structure, squalane feels incredibly light, absorbs smoothly and is well tolerated by virtually every skin type, including oily or sensitive skin. Additionally, squalane is odorless and colorless, and is a nice ingredient to mix with other oils or in DIY skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Squalane for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight texture, feels silky smooth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSqualane feels remarkably light and silky smooth on the skin.

The oil is also known under the English name Rosehip Oil and is a true classic in pro-age skincare. Our Rosehip Oil is organic, cold-pressed and unrefined, and has a beautiful orange-red color and an earthy, warm scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow is Rosehip Oil made?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosehips are the fruits of the rose bush and contain dozens of small white-yellow seeds. The oil is pressed from these seeds. With cold-pressed, unrefined oil, no heat above 30 degrees is used during pressing, which preserves the natural fatty acids, carotenoids and colorants. The refined version is lighter in color and odorless, but lacks many of the active ingredients. The cold-pressed variant is therefore the variant with real efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is Rosehip Oil so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Rosehip Oil unique is its extremely high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The oil consists of approximately 45 to 55% linoleic acid (omega 6) and 25 to 35% alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3). That high proportion of omega 3 is exceptional for a plant oil and is what makes the oil so well-known for barrier repair and skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Rosehip Oil naturally contains carotenoids (including beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A) and traces of trans-retinoic acid. The amount of retinoic acid in Rosehip Oil is very small, approximately 0.0000358%, so you cannot compare it to a pharmaceutical retinol or tretinoin cream. The pro-age effect of Rosehip Oil mainly comes from the combination of essential fatty acids, carotenoids and antioxidants, which together support skin renewal and barrier function. The orange-red color of the oil comes directly from these carotenoids, which also explains why the oil can temporarily give the skin a somewhat orange tint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of Rosehip Oil for your skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupports the skin barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe high content of linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid supports the natural skin barrier and helps with dry or thirsty skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro-age effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe naturally present carotenoids and traces of retinoic acid make Rosehip Oil a popular choice for softening fine lines and promoting an even skin texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHelps with scars and stretch marks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRosehip Oil has been used for years to soften scars, stretch marks and pigment spots.

Due to the orange-red color, the oil is best used as night care. Want to use it during the day? Then mix with a lighter Carrier Oil like Jojoba Oil or squalane, then the skin won't turn orange. The oil is suitable for the face and the rest of the body, and is a nice ingredient in DIY face serums or body butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCan you use Rosehip Oil during pregnancy and in the sun?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in both cases you can.

However, we always advise: are you pregnant and do you have doubts? Please consult with your midwife or doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosehip Oil is also safe to use in the sun. However, we recommend using the oil in the evening. This has nothing to do with phototoxicity, but with two other reasons: the orange color can temporarily rub off, and the rich unsaturated fatty acids oxidize faster in bright sunlight. In the evening, the oil gets time to absorb peacefully without oxidation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips when using Rosehip Oil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosehip Oil naturally has an earthy, warm scent that is described by some as somewhat fishy.
