PURE RED CASTOR OIL

Red castor oil is artisanal and has a roasted odor, because it comes itself from the press of roasted castor seeds,

The white castor oil as for it is virgin, from first cold pressing of the seeds,

The first one has slightly more ricinolic acid (for hair growth, eyelashes, eyebrows and nails), and the second one more vitamins,

We very often advise you to follow your tastes when choosing between virgin oil and carapate oil, because the smell is marked, and it cleaves people between those who like full-bodied, coffee and torrential scents, and those who prefer neutral smells.

With us, both oils come from Madagascar, and the virgin castor oil is very popular, we are very proud to promote carapate oil as one of the highlights of our range.

If we love it, it's not just for its beautiful dark color, or for the way it's made, no. If we love it, it is for its benefits on hair, lashes, eyebrows and cuticles! Here, we will look for the effect of strength and growth on the long term, thanks to the ricinolic acid widely present in this oil. It thus approximates the effects of virgin castor oil or mustard. In an oil bath, it works small miracles on your hair, just like avocado and baobab oils.

That's why you'll see all three of them in our boxes dedicated to hair: whether red or virgin: castor oil is in the essentials!

Carapate oil comes from a very local know-how à Madagascar, where some entire villages are organized around the production of this oil. It is a very songulitic method of manufacturing in the world of oils.

The castor seeds (ricinus communis, like white castor), are roasted and then ground in very thick jars, into which the seed can be knocked. This very mechanical extraction process has been mastered for generations to obtain a high quality and intense carapate oil. The active principles linked to the shoot are more concentrated thanks to this technique, especially the ricinolic acid, on the other hand the vitamins, which are very fragile to heat, will be much less important in this oil than in its virgin analogue: white castor oil.

Like this counterpart by the way, ricin (a feared toxic protein naturally present in the seed) is very little present in it, so you get the benefits of the beautiful red castor oil, without moderation.

This is a very artisanal oil that is quite thick like virgin castor oil, and subject to slight variations in texture.

On the hair, this oil is very often used as an oil bath, let it sit on your hair for 30 minutes, or even overnight wrapped in a warm towel. You will feel your hair much stronger, softer, and its growth and ability to hold itself will be improved. By applying the oil to all of your lengths, you give them a protective film to resist external aggression.

Once a week, take a moment for yourself to learn this oil: do yourself some good, it's made for ça!!

After resting on the hair, you can do your usual shampoo.

This virgin oil is very distinctive in its red appearance (for Mira oil), with highlights ranging from purple to brown, depending on the batch, season, plant and torrential treatment.

Smell, it has very full-bodied notes, like a coffee of character. Sometimes this oil has very pronounced notes of roast, and sometimes a very smoky, very taking. In any case, it is served à those who are looking for character, rawness, and body, it is not a neutral oil, and it returns it to you well!

Everyone is right, it does indeed have both names. It will be called jamaican black castor oil in the West Indies or Jamaïque, while red castor or carapate can be found in Africa.
