Use in Skin Care and Remedies

The castor oil contained in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products comes from India. Here WALA is collaborating via a non-governmental organisation with farmers who, encouraged by WALA, have applied for and received organic certification for their castor oil plant production. WALA has also spoken with an Indian oil press owner who has been processing castor oil seeds for around 20 years. At WALA’s request he has established a second processing line which he has had certified. He purchases the seed from the organic farmers at a price which is above the market price, and from it obtains the first cold-pressed castor oil of organic quality. This high-grade oil is a base ingredient in Dr.Hauschka Eye Contour Balm, eyeliners, lipsticks, mascara, Pure Care Cover Stick, Floral and Fresh deodorants, and Rosemary Leg and Arm Toner. In sulfated form it forms the base for the Dr.Hauschka Bath Oils.
