Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil 8 fl oz – Strengthening & Nourishing Oil | With Vitamin E & Omega Fatty Acids | For Hair, Skin, Eyebrows & Eyelashes

The difference between Jamaican black castor oil and regular castor oil is the method in which it is processed. Both are great for skin and hair health. Pure natural castor oil is a pale yellow/light golden color and is cold pressed. There is no heat involved in cold pressing, the castor beans are just squeezed at high pressure to extract oil from the seeds. The advantage of cold pressing is that you do not harm any of the beneficial nutrients. Be aware that some companies will also use a solvent chemical such as hexane to separate the oil making production quicker and cheaper. So if you go that route, research and make sure that the castor oil you choose is reputable 100% pure and 100% cold pressed without use of chemicals. Jamaican black castor oil gets its distinct smokey roasted smell and darker color by the process in which it is made. Traditionally it is made by 1) allowing the seeds to dry out in the sun 2) roasting them 3) grinding them into a paste 4) adding the paste to boiling water 5 skimming the oil that rises to the top It can vary in color from a lighter brown hue to a very dark brown. Sometimes you may see particles settle at the bottom of the bottle, which is just ash from roasting the castor beans. This is a very thick heavy oil. Personally I prefer to dilute it. The first way I use it is by combining equal parts extra virgin olive oil with Jamaican black castor oil and a few drops of rosemary essential oil. Great to help promote hair growth and grow back thinning hair. I apply this to my scalp every night or at least every other night before bed, especially focusing on my thinning edges. Second I make a whipped hair butter by 1) using the double boiler method I melt equal parts (1/3 cup each) Shea butter, cocoa butter and coconut oil 2) when it has cooled a bit I add in my JBCO, EVOO, and rosemary mixture (1/3 cup) (you can add other essential oils if you choose as well) 3) put bowl in the fridge or freezer just until it starts to solidify but not completely solid 4) whip up into your desired consistency This is a great butter for your hair but can also double as a body butter. Lastly I put straight Jamaican black castor oil with a drop of lavender and rosemary essential oil into an empty mascara type container and I apply that to my eyebrows every night before bed. The jamaican black castor oil is also great to use as a pre poo treatment or even hot oil treatment. The key to seeing results for hair growth, growing back thinning hair and thickening hair is consistency! You have to keep up with it, making it a routine. You cant just give up after a few days or a week and expect results. I have seen results in growing back my thinning edges as well as making my hair thicker, even my eyebrows which were prior quite sparse. It also has made my hair very soft and shiny.

Well I have heard alot of good reviews about this product and so far I am not that impressed yet(it's ok but I like it at the same time so far...First ill get to the negative of this product, the consistancy is not like other castor oils...I have read the reviews on this oil and from the reviews I had the impression that this castor oil was just too thick(thats what I like thick oil to seal the ends of my hair) but this oil is a bit watery compared to other brands of castor oils that I have used. And because this castor oil is not thick enough for me to seal my ends I had to purchase another brand to do the job. Now the positive so far is: I actually like the smell of this oil, I know that some people who reviewed this product did't care for the smell but it smells good, it smells like roasted coffe beans..lol..but the smell does not linger so thats a plus as well. another positive that I like about this oil is that once I applied the oil to my scalp my scalp started to tingle..I was not expecting for this oil to give my scalp a nice tingling sensation..Now myself I am a big fan of tingling sensations on my scalp, it lets me know that somthing is going on...Most growth aides that I use have a tingling sensation(but this castor oil has my scalp tingling more than any other growth aid I have ever used, the tingling last for 15- 45 min..other growth aides last 2-5 min) and everytime I get the tingles a month later my hair sprouts with crazy growth...Now I am not sure if that tingling sensation that I am getting from this product means a month later ill have crazy growth but from past experiances with other growth aids(which has managed to aide in giving me growth to the point of achieving bra stap length afro textured hair) the tingling sensation usually means that I have purchased a damn good growth aide...So I am going to have to come back and do an update within a month or two if this product has givin me crazy growth...But so far the tingling is a plus..Another positive is that this oil alone makes my hair supper soft....it's rare that a oil alone can make my curley, kinky, wavy hair so soft(besides my coconut oil)...So the positives out way the negatives so far but I really didn't want to buy another castor oil after spending money on this item which is more expensive then other brands of castor oils. Now if I don't get crazy growth from this oil then ill add that to my negative list ...as far as this item making my hair soft well my coconut oil does that as well...So basically when I update my review on this poduct in about a month or two maybe three, it will be about rather or not this item has givin me crazy results or some good growth results and if my hair has thickned up alot. UPDATE: OK it's been a month almost and this item does work very well, but here is the catch.....I also use BEE MINE sulfur serum with this oil and my hair has grown alot and has thickened up...so I will purchase this castor oil to work with my sulfur serum.....So this is a good product.

Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil is a staple for a reason. The consistency is rich and thick, which makes it perfect for sealing in moisture and targeting dry areas. I use it on my scalp, edges, and even brows, and it leaves everything feeling nourished. A little goes a long way, and the quality feels authentic and effective. It’s especially great for protective styles or when my hair needs extra TLC. If you’re looking for a dependable, multi-use oil for hair and scalp care, this one does the job. Definitely keeping this in my routine! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have only been using this oil for a little over 2 weeks and my hair has experienced some growth and thickening. My scalp feels great! I dont have alot of build up. I have little to no itching in my scalp. It doesnt have the best smell, but it definitely works. The oil is heavy and I only apply it every other day. I just started the process to loc my hair and I highly recommend it. I can definitely feel the difference in my scalp and hair. It has strengthened my hair and is definitely good for moisturizing. I highly recommend this. My eyebrows are very thin and I have started applying the castor oil to my eyebrows. I will follow up and update on this. I do highly recommend this oil! See below for before and after use.

This works incredibly well on blepharitis.I have had incredibly expensive prescriptions to try to fight this problem. Some of them $60 for a tiny bottle of spray. Within just two or three nights of rubbing this on my eyes before I went to bed had an immediate effect - more effect in three nights than in three years. I know some people dislike the aroma. I didn't find it so strong that it was offensive and I have a pretty sensitive nose. To get the best results, I soak my eyes with a very warm washcloth for about five minutes. I follow this by taking just a fingertip full of this to rub on each eye. I dab off any excess with a washcloth, leaving a light residue behind. When I wake up in the morning I wash my face. It is rare that I don't see an improvement each day. By getting rid of this problem I won't have to be on medications to keep my eyes moist. Additionally, I see my eyelashes getting thicker as they aren't falling out as regularly. This is worth trying for anyone. I'm starting to try this on the part in my hair. It is thinning because my hair is long and heavy. I have seen a number of people report that this helps hair regrowth. After using it for a little over a month I believe they are right and I am encouraged to use it for about six months as an experiment. Update: 6/7/17 Wow! Great results. Not only has this eliminated the fallout of my eyelashes, they have really thickened up. I have almost completely eliminated the itchy residue that accompanies blepharitis. It is rare to experience a problem. Now for the impact on my hair... thick, thick, thick. My hair has the volume it did when I was decades younger. This could also be in part to a real focus on healthy eating. The thinning part in my hair has nearly disappeared. I have very little fallout of hair where my long hair used to leave quite a pile on the shower floor. This is an inexpensive bargain for the impact it has. I have recommended it to others with the same challenges I have faced. I am hoping it will do the job for them.

I love this product.I put it on my face and hold a hot cloth on my face to penetrate. It helps keep wrinkles at bay .Im almost 82.

Highly recommend this stuff. I have been using this for almost a year and it indeed helped my eyebrows grow in a bit more - I over tweezed them in my youth, you see :/ . Anyway, the results were not miraculous for me or very quick, but if you set up a routine to apply the oil daily then you should see some growth in a few months. As I already mentioned, I have been applying the oil to my eyebrows; I've been using a "Q-tip" to dip in the bottle and then apply to the area. I have also tried this on my eyelashes and was doing it for quite a while (not sure about the results since I didn't keep it up for too long), as part of my bedtime routine, but then stopped because the oil can get in your eyes; The oil did not irritate my eyes, but it did make it difficult to keep my eyes open for an extended period of time (no, I did not "gloop" it on, but it would run down from the top eyelashes and into my eyes). This can be annoying if you like to read, or "Facebook" before going to bed :), and I also do not know if it is safe to be getting this stuff in your eyes. I also tried it on my scalp to see if the growth of my fine, wavy hair could be increased, but I did only just that, "try"; the oil is very thick, and does not have a pretty smell, so I found it inconvenient to slather the stuff on my head regularly, but its worth a try for those that would not mind and can stick to a routine to ensure results. Overall, it is very inexpensive way to try and regrow some hair. The bottle is a good size and lasts. I will definitely be ordering some more.

I liked the product particularly the smell but why would a company switch to plastic bottles from glass when many people prefer glass? I will searching for another product in glass bottles.

I love how this works for me in so many different ways! Amazing rubbed into my nails! I love combining my regular body cream with some of this and applying after a shower...guaranteed silky soft for days! Combine with conditioner and apply to hair, let sit for 5-10 mins then rinse. Love the thickness of this oil and the nutty scent.

Ottimo prodotto per pelle e capelli. L' olio è piuttosto denso, di una consistenza quasi simile al miele. L'odore non è dei migliori ma nemmeno particolarmente sgradevole. Come lo uso: la sera prima dello shampoo faccio un impacco con questo olio che applico alle radici dove i capelli sono più diradati o sottili oppure lo applico sulle zone soggette a dermatite. Della stessa marca utilizzo anche l olio "Red pigmento strong roots" altrettanto valido per rinforzare le radici. Sulle lunghezze dei capelli applico l olio di cocco e sulle punte l olio di mandorle. Avvolgo la testa in un asciugamano in microfibra ( quelli appositi per gli impacchi, si trovano facilmente su amazon) e il mattino dopo lavo tutto con uno shampoo abbastanza schiumogeno per evitare che residui effetto unto sui capelli. Il risultato è fantastico.

Je l’ai acheté pour entretenir mes cheveux avec des produits naturels (en plus de l’huile de coco et du beurre de karité) et stimuler la pousse de ma barbe durant le confinement ^^ L’odeur est forte mais on peut s’y faire, c’est du 100% naturel au moins ! Sur mes cheveux les résultats sont déjà visibles : hydratés plus longtemps, doux et souple. À appliquer en petite quantité (car c’est une huile grasse voire visqueuse) sur le cuir chevelu : - En prepoo (avant le shampooing) - En soin le soir avant de se coucher - En bain d’huile c’est excellent (2 ou 3 fois par mois suffiront) - En soin pour les ongles (bain d’huile de 15 minutes) Certains l’utilisent pour leur peau mais je n’ai pas testé.

Very happy with the purchase and worth the price tag.
