Kate Blanc CosmeticsCastor Oil Organic (4oz), 100% Pure, Cold Pressed, Hexane Free. Natural Oil for Hair, Eyelashes, Eyebrows. Skin Moisturizer with Starter Kit

Amazing product. I’ve been using it for a long time now and it has helped so much with my skin, hair, and sometimes my upset stomach. I’ve only recently used it on my lashes so if any changes I’ll update. Overall a very useful oil.

Originally, I purchased the kit only for my widows-peak/receding hairline as it seems to be thinning out. After seeing all the positive reviews on the growth on brows and eyelashes, I decided to apply it to my scalp, lashes and brows.2/22/21 was the 1st day I began using the castor oil Today 3/1/21, when I looked in the mirror, it didn’t look like much had changed.. UNTIL I took a photo (see pic of brows attached) and compared it to my before photo! There’s a massive difference in my eyebrows! Plus, I used to have dry flaky skin underneath my brows and now that is no longer an issue! I’m beyond happy!!In both pictures, my brows are shown in their natural state, I haven’t filled them in and I haven’t put any other products in.Positives:-there’s no smell-the wands that come in the kit make it mess free and easy to apply-I’m seeing results in my brows after 8 days!-moisturizes dry flaky skin under hair follicles-standard shipping was pretty quick! placed order on 2/11/21, received on 2/17/21 (6 days)Negative:-it’s a thick oil so it leaves hair greasy until you wash it-you can’t really use this product and go into public unless you wear a hat or put a headband on to cover the oiliness of your scalp.How I use it:The directions advise to apply to your scalp after showering and washing your hair BUT I’m one of those people who wants to see results ASAP. I’ve been applying it to my hair, eyebrows and lashes almost every day in the morning and at night before bed ( sometimes I reapply in the afternoon).But I have had to basically wash my hair every day because it gets so greasy. I think this is a small price to pay since it works so well at helping hair grow! And because of covid, I work from home so it’s easier to deal with since no but my boyfriend sees the oily hair (poor guy LOL).Friendly tip:I’m the worst at sticking with regimens; if it’s out of sight it’s 100% out of mind for me. So I’ve placed the castor oil bottle by my hand soap in the restroom so when I wash my hands I’m reminded to use the oil or reapply if need!Other Results:From the other reviews I’ve read, I understand and have accepted that this product takes time (months) to work especially when it comes to treating the hair on the scalp. I’ve only used this for 8 days so my review is specifically for the results I’ve seen in my brows. I have not yet seen a difference in my lashes and widows-peak but I will update my review in a month or two with results.Keep applying and try to stick with it! I almost gave up today before I compared my before and after photos because I’m so impatient haha!And my only motivation to write this review was because I actually visibly saw a difference, I hope my experience is able to help those considering this purchase...BUY IT! It works, I’m a believer now!

All I knew about castor oil was that parents used to make their naughty children drink some as a punishment. Recently I began to lose more hair than is normal for me. I read a lot of information online about what might help my hair loss slow down and stimulate new hair growth. I didn't really want to use any products like Rogaine (sp?) for women just yet because I've learned over time that sometimes a more holistic approach can solve a problem just as well (without strong harsh chemicals involved). I decided to try castor oil after considering a number of possibilities. My somewhat new favorite place to make purchases is Amazon (I know, I know...what rock have I been hiding under?!?), and I quickly decided that Kate Blanc's organic castor oil sounded the best, considering price per ounce, customer reviews, and that it included several mascara type wands and a couple of tiny brushes for applying to brows and lashes.It arrived quickly, and I tried it out immediately. I used a mascara wand to apply some to my lashes (because who the hell doesn't want fluffy lashes to go with gorgeous healthy hair?!). I found out quickly that castor oil can also be used to lubricate a crank shaft - just kidding. It was about 15 times thicker than olive oil. Closer to petroleum jelly, but not quite THAT thick, but VERY sticky. Seriously, blobs of it on my lashes. After a few moments of being stunned, then worried, then curious, I remembered how often I saw castor oil being recommended for hair, eyelash, and eyebrow thinning. At the same time I noticed that it wasn't irritating my eye at all.With my worries abated, I set about gently wiping the excess off using my finger. Each time I wiped it off my eyelashes, I put it on either my cuticles, eyebrows, or lips (it's flavorless, by the way). When I was done getting the excess off my lashes, it dawned on me that the wands were probably meant for applying it to the brows and the tiny brushes were likely meant to apply a very thin layer to the top of the lash line. Live and learn. Then I set about applying a drop or two to one fingertip and smearing it over the rest of my fingertips. I did that long enough to create a nice thin layer. Then I chose the spots where my hair was the thinnest (near my temples) and ran my fingers through my hair lightly, then rubbed the oil into the roots and scalp. I did the same to another thinning area at the top of the back of my head.By now I was, for some unknown reason, quite optimistic about this oil being successful in stopping a lot of the hair loss and growing hair back in the sparse areas. This optimism led to me applying it to my lips, dabbing a tiny amount on some wrinkles, and rubbing some into the dry, stiff, brittle ends of my hair.Now, I'm pretty certain that I got above average results on my hair. I left the oil on overnight, and the next morning I washed it out using Wen (RIDICULOUSLY expensive for how long a large bottle lasts, but it's so effective at lessening my frizz and bringing back shine). After I let my hair air dry, I examined my thinning areas. They were clearly less obviously thin. My dry ends had some luster also. My eyebrows appeared to be thicker, but the lashes didn't look any different. Yet.This oil was nearly love-at-first-sight for me. If I were pessimistic about getting some more hair to grow in the sparse spots, I wouldn't have written a novel of a review. So far it's working, and I will update this review when there is more to report. I love that it has no flavor (I was always under the impression that it was the horrible flavor that made it an effective punishment. I guess it must have been the thick stickiness.), and I love that it is useful in a variety of ways. Last but not least, I like that many reviewers report that Kate Blanc Cosmetics has excellent customer service. So far I agree. I got an email from Kate asking if I was satisfied with my purchase. High scores all around.

This gets 4 stars due to the packaging. I ordered one for myself and you will see in the picture what happened to the cap. It looked ok but must have had a crack. I ordered one for my sister and the cap is ok but again the packing was bad. It came in that envelope. No bubble wrap, nothing to protect the bottle and it's glass. The oil is ok. It's thick and has no odor.

My hairstylist recommended this to me to reduce puffiness under my eyes. It also stimulates hair growth to thicken eyebrows and helps hair with split ends. You only need a drop and it does seem to work nicely. Be careful not to get any in your eye. Look it up for more information on precautions and its uses.
