MAYJAM 473ml Cold-Pressed Carrier Oil

Cold-pressing extracts oil without heat or chemical solvents, which is why it's the preferred method for a carrier oil meant to do real work on skin and hair rather than just sit on the surface. MAYJAM 473ml Cold-Pressed Carrier Oil is available in Coconut and Castor variants, each cold-pressed to preserve its natural character.

The two variants suit different jobs. Coconut oil is lighter, absorbs faster, and carries a familiar scent that makes it a popular everyday moisturizer and hair treatment. Castor oil is notably thicker and more viscous, which is exactly why it's favored for scalp and lash treatments and as a massage oil where a slower-absorbing, more cushioning oil is useful — many people keep both on hand and pick between them depending on what they're using it for that day.

It's a versatile, everyday oil — many people use it as an all-over skin moisturizer, a hair and scalp conditioning treatment, or a massage oil for the back, shoulders, and legs. The 473ml (16 fl oz) bottle is generously sized for regular use rather than occasional application, which matters for an oil like castor that's often used in small amounts but needs to be on hand consistently to build any kind of routine.

As a carrier oil, it also works well for diluting essential oils to a safe topical concentration — a common starting ratio is 2–4 drops of essential oil per teaspoon (5ml) of carrier oil. Because castor oil in particular is thicker, some people prefer blending it with a lighter oil like coconut for a texture that spreads more easily over larger areas of skin.

For external use only. Patch test on your inner arm before first full use, check the ingredient label if you have a known nut or seed oil allergy, and keep out of reach of children and pets.
