How to choose the best castor oil in Australia: 5 checks

These are the checks we would use on any brand, ours included.

1. Extraction method

Cold pressed, rather than heat or solvent extracted. See cold pressed castor oil.

2. Hexane free

The label should say so. See hexane free castor oil.

3. Organic certification

If organic matters to you, look for a certifier's logo and number.

4. Packaging

Dark glass protects the oil from light. Clear plastic does not.

5. Price per 100 ml

Small bottles often cost twice as much per 100 ml.
