MAYJAM's 473ml Cold-Pressed Carrier Oil comes in two options, Coconut Oil and Castor Oil, both positioned as versatile carrier oils for cosmetic skin care, hair care, massage, and properly diluted personal-care blends. Cold pressing uses mechanical extraction rather than a heat-driven process, and the characteristics of the finished oil vary according to the plant source selected.
The two oils differ noticeably in texture. Castor Oil is a thick, viscous oil naturally rich in ricinoleic acid, long used in hair, brow, and lash oils as well as thicker DIY balms and lip care, since a little goes a long way. Coconut Oil, by contrast, has a lighter, more familiar feel and a mild scent, making it a popular everyday moisturizer for skin and hair — though it solidifies naturally in cooler temperatures and simply needs to be warmed between the palms to return to liquid.
Because of this difference in weight, many people reach for Castor Oil in small amounts on brows, lashes, cuticles, or hair ends, and use Coconut Oil more liberally as a daily body moisturizer or pre-shampoo scalp treatment. Both work as a carrier base for diluting essential oils, though Castor Oil's thicker consistency is often blended with a lighter oil, such as the Coconut Oil in this same collection, to make it easier to spread. The generous 473ml bottle size suits a regular routine rather than occasional, one-off use.
To use, apply a small amount to clean skin and massage gently, or smooth a small amount through hair lengths and ends. If combining with essential oils or other concentrated ingredients, follow the recommended dilution for the specific blend.
