The role
Why it is here.
Castor oil gives the formula a denser, more coating texture. In controlled amounts, it supports dry lengths, reduces wash-day friction, and helps hair feel more protected before shampoo.
INGREDIENT
Castor Oil
Ricinus communis
Adds a richer coating feel for dry lengths, roughness, and breakage-prone hair.
Tradition
In Ayurvedic care.
Used in home hair care for a thicker oiling ritual and strand coating.
Our oil
How RUVS treats it.
RUVS balances castor oil with coconut oil and botanicals so the blend stays rich without feeling like a single heavy oil. Final preparation details should be confirmed after the approved production batch.

Castor oil adds a richer coating feel for dry lengths and helps reduce friction before shampoo when used in controlled amounts.
Castor oil can feel heavy on its own. RUVS balances it with coconut oil and botanicals so customers can use smaller, controlled amounts.
As a pre-wash coating oil, castor oil can support hair that feels rough or breakage-prone by reducing friction through the lengths.
Apply the blend mainly to the scalp in sections, then lightly smooth any remaining oil through dry or rough lengths before washing.
