Applied around the eyes (not inside), castor oil deeply hydrates, boosts collagen production, and may gradually lighten dark circles and soften fine lines with regular use.
📝 Massage a small amount gently under the eyes before bed. Be careful not to let it enter the eyes.
🌿 4. Promotes Longer, Thicker Eyelashes
Castor oil nourishes hair follicles, encouraging stronger lash growth and reducing lash fallout.
📝 Apply a drop using a clean spoolie or cotton swab along the lash line before sleep.
🛡️ 5. Protects Against Infections
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, which has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It may help reduce the risk of minor infections like styes when used carefully.
⚠️ Safety Tips for Eye Use:
Only use sterile, hexane-free, cold-pressed castor oil specifically labeled for eye use.
Avoid regular cosmetic-grade oil near your eyes.
Always do a patch test to check for sensitivity.
Consult an eye doctor before using for medical eye conditions.
✅ Conclusion:
Used correctly, castor oil can be a gentle and powerful ally for eye care — soothing dryness, enhancing lash growth, and restoring the delicate skin around the eyes. Just a few drops a day can bring visible improvements over time.
