Product Description:
Matru Ayurveda's Virgin Cold Pressed Castor Oil is extracted from the finest castor seeds using a traditional cold press process — no heat, no hexane, no chemical solvents. Because the oil is never exposed to high temperatures, every drop retains its full concentration of ricinoleic acid, Vitamin E, and Omega-6 fatty acids — the nutrients your hair and skin actually need. If you've been searching for a truly pure castor oil for hair growth, this is it.
Why cold pressed matters — educates buyer, builds trust, differentiates from cheap alternatives
Why cold pressed makes all the difference
Most castor oils sold in India are solvent-extracted or heat-refined — processes that strip the oil of its active nutrients and leave chemical residues behind. Cold pressing is slower and yields less oil, but it preserves the full nutritional profile of the seed. What you get in the bottle is the same oil nature intended — thick, pale yellow, with a characteristic mild earthy scent. No artificial fragrance. No colour additives. No processing chemicals of any kind.
Benefits:
What Matru cold pressed castor oil does for you
-
Hair growth & hair fall reduction — Ricinoleic acid increases scalp circulation, strengthening hair follicles and visibly reducing breakage with regular use. Ideal for those dealing with thinning hair or hair fall.
-
Eyebrow & eyelash growth — A small amount applied nightly to brows and lashes conditions the follicles and promotes thicker, fuller growth over 4–6 weeks.
-
Beard growth & conditioning — Massaged into the beard daily, castor oil softens coarse hair, reduces itching, and supports fuller growth in patchy areas.
-
Deep scalp nourishment — Its thick consistency allows it to sit on the scalp and deeply penetrate dry, flaky skin — making it particularly effective as a pre-wash oil treatment.
-
Skin moisturisation & anti-ageing — Applied to the face or body, castor oil's emollient properties lock in moisture, soften rough patches, and over time help reduce the appearance of fine lines, stretch marks, and uneven tone.
-
Acne & skin concerns — The antimicrobial properties of ricinoleic acid make castor oil effective in managing acne-prone skin when used in small quantities as a spot treatment.
How To Use:
How to use — hair, skin & more
-
For hair growth (scalp treatment): Warm 1–2 teaspoons between palms. Massage into the scalp in circular motions for 5–10 minutes. Leave on for a minimum of 1 hour (or overnight with a shower cap). Wash out with a mild shampoo. Use 2–3 times per week for best results.
-
For eyebrows & eyelashes: Dip a clean mascara wand or cotton bud into a few drops of oil. Apply to brows and lash line before bed. Rinse off in the morning. Use nightly for 4–6 weeks.
-
For skin & face: Apply a small amount directly to the area of concern — dry patches, scars, stretch marks, or fine lines. Gently massage until absorbed. Best used at night as part of a skincare routine.
-
As a carrier oil: Mix with lighter oils like coconut or sesame for a blend that spreads more easily through the hair.
Tip: Because cold pressed castor oil is naturally thick, warming it slightly before use helps it spread more easily and absorb better.
Recommended For: Skin and hair.

Frequently asked questions
Is cold pressed castor oil better than regular castor oil?
Yes. Cold pressed castor oil retains its full nutritional profile — particularly ricinoleic acid and Vitamin E — because it is never exposed to heat or chemical solvents during extraction. Regular or refined castor oil loses a significant portion of these active nutrients during processing. For hair growth and skin benefits, cold pressed is always the better choice.
How long before I see results for hair growth?
Most users notice a visible reduction in hair fall within 3–4 weeks of consistent use. New hair growth typically becomes visible after 6–8 weeks. For best results, use 2–3 times a week as a pre-wash scalp massage and be consistent — natural oils work gradually, not overnight.
Can I use this castor oil on my face every day?
Yes, it is safe for daily use on the face. We recommend applying a small amount at night. If you have very oily skin, use it 2–3 times a week as a spot treatment rather than all over. Always do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
Can this oil be used for eyebrow and eyelash growth?
Absolutely — this is one of its most popular uses. Apply a small amount to clean brows and the lash line nightly using a clean wand or cotton bud. Most customers notice thicker, fuller brows and lashes within 4–6 weeks of nightly use.
Is this castor oil safe for children?
Yes. This oil contains no chemicals, preservatives, or synthetic additives, making it safe for children above 2 years of age for external use on skin and hair. It is not intended for internal consumption.
