Jamaican Black Castor Oil vs Castor Oil
Jamaican Black Castor Oil vs. Regular Castor Oil
Why Jamaican Black Castor Oil is the Superior Choice for Deep Nourishment
When it comes to choosing the right castor oil, both varieties carry wonderful benefits — but Jamaican Black Castor Oil truly stands in a league of its own. Here’s what sets it apart and why customers fall in love with it:
🌑 Processing Method: The Biggest Difference
Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO)
Traditionally made by roasting the castor beans, hand-crushing them, and slow-boiling to release their rich oils.
This roasting process creates natural ash content, giving JBCO its bold, smoky scent and signature rich amber color.
The ash elevates the oil’s pH, making it more alkaline, which helps it penetrate hair and skin more deeply.
Regular Castor Oil
- Made from cold-pressed, unroasted seeds.
- Light in color, mild in scent, and more neutral in pH.
- Still nourishing, but not as deeply penetrating as JBCO.
💪 Nutrient Density & Strength
JBCO
Higher levels of omegas, minerals, and actives are extracted due to the roasting.
Thicker, richer, and more therapeutic — especially for dry scalp, thinning edges, or brittle hair.
Ideal for intense hydration, growth support, and scalp restoration.
Regular Castor Oil
Smooth and moisturizing, but lighter in nutrient intensity.
Great for everyday skin use or blending, but not as targeted for growth and repair.
