If you ever wondered how to naturally get longer and fuller eyelashes, you must have come across several homemade remedies listing castor oil as a main ingredient. Extracted from the castor bean seed (Ricinus communis) by cold pressing, castor oil is comprised of many properties that have been recognized for centuries, as its use goes back to ancient Egypt. Topically applied, it is known to have a major positive impact on your hair's health. But now you may wonder, why should castor oil be your lashes' best friend?


 

Moisturizes lashes


Primarily made of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty agent rich in vitamin E that positively impacts your health, castor oil promotes moisturization and anti-inflammation. As an omega-9 essential fatty acid, ricinoleic promotes thicker, smoother and softer eyelashes.

Limits breakage


Your lashes are less likely to break as consistent moisturization helps your hair remain more lubricated and flexible. By deeply penetrating into your skin, vitamin E (naturally contained in castor oil), promotes quicker growth as your roots are better nourished. Additionally, castor oil stimulates your blood circulation which makes your lashes less likely to fall.


Promotes healthier lashes


Rich in proteins, minerals and many different fatty acids, castor oil is a natural antifungal and antibacterial agent. Among its components, undecylenic acid helps promote healthier hair by stopping fungal growth. Remember, healthier lashes is key to consistently limiting hair loss!

Incorporating castor oil to your daily beauty routine is a very effective way to get healthier lashes and limit breakage.


 

But if you want to make castor oil your new eyelash BFF, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, when choosing your castor oil, look for an organic, pure cold pressed option to ensure best quality and optimal nutrient concentration. Second, swatch a few drops of oil onto your skin and wait at least 24h before using it for the first time to be aware of any reaction you may have to it. Finally, be sure to make the most of your castor oil by using eyelash serums that enhance its natural properties with other natural oils and vitamins.
