Quick Facts

Who St. Francis Castor Oil Is For

• Adults looking for a traditional topical oil for itchy skin
• People treating common warts who can commit to daily application for at least 3 weeks
• Anyone who makes castor oil packs at home and wants a clean, organic, hexane-free oil
• Those who use castor oil as a conditioning oil for skin, hair, nails, brows and lashes
• Shoppers who prefer oils bottled in glass rather than plastic

Who this product is NOT for:

• People with diabetes or poor blood circulation — the label says not to use it
• Anyone wanting to treat moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, genital warts, or warts on the face or mucous membranes
• Use on irritated, reddened or infected skin
• Internal use — this oil is for external use only

Vitamart's Take

St. Francis Castor Oil is about as simple as a product gets: one ingredient, certified organic, cold-pressed without hexane, and sealed in amber glass to protect it from light. That makes it a good pick for anyone who uses castor oil regularly, whether for itchy skin, a wart routine or castor oil packs. The 500 ml size is the practical choice if you do packs, since they use a generous amount of oil, while the 120 ml bottle is handy for small-area use.

How St. Francis Castor Oil Compares

Castor oil vs. a blended face oil

St. Francis Skin Harmony Face Oil blends organic castor oil with rose hip and other oils for daily facial care. Straight castor oil is thicker and better suited to targeted spots, packs and body use.

Castor oil vs. calendula oil

St. Francis Calendula Oil is an infused herbal oil aimed at skin healing. Castor oil is a pressed seed oil used on its own, with label directions for itching and common warts.

Hexane-free vs. solvent-extracted

Some commercial castor oils are extracted with hexane, a petroleum solvent. St. Francis presses its oil without hexane, so nothing but the bean oil goes into the bottle.

What Is Castor Oil?

• Castor oil is pressed from the bean (seed) of the castor plant, Ricinus communis
• It has been used for thousands of years for medicinal, beauty and practical purposes
• Cold-pressing extracts the oil mechanically, without high heat
• It is a thick, viscous oil, which is why it stays put on the skin and works well in packs
• A castor oil pack is a cloth soaked in the oil, placed on the skin and often covered with a heat source

Recommended Purpose

• A traditional topical oil used for a variety of skin issues, including itching
• Applied daily for no less than 3 weeks for common warts (per label directions)

How To Use

• Adults: apply 60 ml of oil topically to the affected area as needed; apply heat if desired
• For warts: apply daily for no less than 3 weeks
• For external use only; avoid contact with eyes — if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water
• Consult a health care practitioner before use if pregnant, or if symptoms worsen or persist
• Keep out of reach of children
