about this product.

Cold-pressed castor oil is a thick, pale-yellow plant oil derived from the seeds of Ricinus communis. Its standout constituent is ricinoleic acid, a hydroxyl fatty acid that makes up the majority of castor oil's fatty acid profile and is studied for its ability to support skin hydration and soothe surface-level inflammation. The cold-pressing method preserves these fatty acids without the degradation that heat extraction can cause, making it a reasonable choice when ingredient integrity matters.

This is a versatile single-ingredient oil. It suits people looking for a straightforward, unfussy topical for dry or rough skin — elbows, heels, cuticles — as well as those who use it as part of a hair and scalp routine. It is occlusively heavy, which means it seals moisture in well but is best used in targeted applications or diluted for larger surface areas rather than worn alone on the face by those prone to congestion.

KIKI HEALTH produces a range of single-ingredient nutritional and topical products. Their cold-pressed castor oil is unrefined, keeping the fatty acid profile as close to the native seed composition as possible. For those who prefer a minimal-ingredient approach — one ingredient, clearly sourced — this fits that brief without complication.

frequently asked.

Can I use this on my face?

Castor oil is highly occlusive and can contribute to congestion for those with oily or acne-prone skin. It is better suited to targeted use — lips, brows, or dry patches — than as an all-over facial moisturiser.

How does cold-pressing differ from refined castor oil?

Cold-pressing extracts the oil without heat, which helps retain the natural fatty acid composition, colour, and odour of the seed. Refined castor oil is often bleached and deodourised, which may alter some of its native constituents.

Can I use this in my hair?

Yes. Castor oil is commonly used as a scalp treatment or to condition the ends of hair. Because it is thick, it is often easier to apply warm or mixed with a lighter carrier oil to aid distribution.

Is this safe to use during pregnancy?

Topical use is generally considered low risk, but castor oil taken orally has a strong laxative effect and is sometimes associated with stimulating uterine contractions. If you are pregnant, consult your midwife or doctor before use.

How do I know how much to use?

Start with a very small amount — the oil is dense and spreads with warmth. For scalp use, a few drops worked in with fingertips is typically sufficient. Check the packaging for any additional guidance from the brand.

The first adrenal support that made a quick difference.

4 days ago

Gentle on a sensitive stomach, and I feel like myself again. I had tried two other glandulars before this and neither sat right.

MRVerified Buyer

Steadier mornings within a fortnight.

1 week ago

I was sceptical about glandulars, but my mid-afternoon crash has genuinely eased. One capsule with breakfast and I forget about it.

ALVerified Buyer

Subtle, but real.

2 weeks ago

Not a stimulant, which is exactly what I wanted. It took about ten days, then I realised I wasn’t dreading the afternoon any more.

SKVerified Buyer

My clinician recommended it.

3 weeks ago

Bought after a blood panel flagged a flat cortisol curve. Easy to take, no jitters, and the sourcing is refreshingly transparent.

TPVerified Buyer

Recovery feels faster.

1 month ago

Training hard through a stressful stretch and this has helped me bounce back between sessions. Already on my second bottle.

DVVerified Buyer

Does what it says.

1 month ago

No frills, one ingredient, a sensible dose. I appreciate that it is designed to be used for a season rather than forever.
