Review: Kate Blanc Organic Castor Oil (#1 For Skin & Lash Grow?)
We love an organic, affordable product with a multitude of applications. Kate Blanc’s USDA certified organic castor oil (with 100% concentration) can be used to stimulate hair growth, eyebrow growth, lash growth, and to moisturize the skin. Most fans of the product seem to be using the oil for natural hair stimulation, particularly of the eyelashes and brows. It’s a top-seller for the brand, and offers an affordable and safe solution for a common problem.
Too often cosmetics products, treatments, and even aging leave lashes or brows sparse and uneven. Of course there are serums, enhancers, and thousands of topical ointments promising restoration, or simply growth for those seeking increased volume. But rare is a popular and natural (certified organic) way to address concerns that are typically addressed chemically or with other cosmetic treatments. We wondered, is this multi-use product really effective in hair growth restoration and a solid topical product for the skin (body and face)?
In reviewing, this is a safe, natural, and simple way to support growth of hair (on the scalp, brows, lashes) while gently moisturizing the skin. It has the addition of affordability, and an affordable 3 (or 4?)-in one product is always a good deal.
There are a multitude of benefits associated with Castor Oil for the body, hair, skin, and overall health. A well-known source of ricinoleic acid, a rich fatty acid, this vegetable oil is widely used in alternative medicine, medical products, and for skin and hair care. It also helps fight fungus, treat acne, promotes wound-healing, offers anti-inflammatory benefits, and acts as a natural moisturizer. It may even improve immunity in the body over time with regular use. In this product, it’s formulation is hexane free, 100% pure, and cold-pressed. It comes with a free mascara and eye wand kit for the treatment of brows and lashes.

For the Skin

- Helps decrease acne and future acne breakouts due to antibacterial properties and ricinoleic acid (which fight acne-causing bacteria)
- Moisturizes and hydrates dry skin
- Helps fade small scars, blemishes and burns, fatty acids in the oil support the growth of healthy new tissue surrounding “concern areas”
- Can help prevent stretch marks from forming (often used during pregnancy)
