Our review

Dabur Cold Pressed 100% Pure Castor Oil, also called arandi ka tel, is a thick, golden-clear oil made from castor seeds. The brand describes it as 100% natural and cold pressed, with no hexane, mineral oil or silicones.

What it is

Castor oil is much thicker and stickier than coconut or almond oil. Because of this, many people mix a little of it with a lighter oil instead of using it alone.

How it is commonly used

Hair and scalp: a few drops blended with coconut or olive oil and massaged in before a wash.
Eyebrows and lashes: some people apply a tiny amount with a clean cotton bud. Keep it away from the eyes.
Dry skin patches: a very small amount on dry areas such as heels or elbows.

What to check before you buy

It is available in several pack sizes, so choose a small one first. Its thick texture can feel heavy and may need an extra wash to remove. Product pages talk about hair growth and shine, but results vary from person to person and we cannot promise any result.

Safety

This is meant for external use. Do a patch test first and stop if you notice irritation. Do not swallow castor oil unless a doctor has advised you to. Keep it away from the eyes and out of reach of children.

Our take

A simple, familiar and affordable oil for people who like a traditional thick oil in their routine. It works best as part of a blend rather than on its own. Please check the current price, pack size and reviews on Amazon before you decide.
