In an era dominated by synthetic chemicals and complex laboratory formulations, there is a growing movement back to the fundamental purity of nature. MAYA 100% Cold Pressed & Organic Castor Oil stands at the pinnacle of this movement. Derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, this oil has been a cornerstone of traditional medicine and beauty rituals for millennia. MAYA brings this ancient secret into the modern age, offering an unrefined, hexane-free, and nutrient-dense oil that serves as a powerful multi-tasking tool for hair, skin, lashes, and nails. When you choose MAYA, you are choosing a product that is as close to the source as possible—untouched by heat, chemicals, or additives.

The Cold-Pressed Difference: Preserving Vitality

The efficacy of castor oil depends entirely on how it is extracted. Many commercial oils use chemical solvents like hexane or high-heat processes that degrade the oil’s biological activity.

MAYA utilizes a strictly cold-pressed extraction method. By pressing the organic castor seeds at low temperatures, we ensure that the fragile fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals remain fully intact. This results in a thick, golden, and viscous oil that retains its natural healing properties, ensuring that every drop delivered to your skin or hair is at peak potency.

Purity is our priority. Our castor seeds are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Furthermore, our oil is guaranteed to be hexane-free, making it safe for use near sensitive areas like the eyes and on delicate facial skin. It is the cleanest possible version of one of nature’s most powerful moisturizers.

The Science of Ricinoleic Acid: The Growth Engine

What makes MAYA Castor Oil uniquely effective is its high concentration of Ricinoleic Acid—a rare unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid that makes up approximately 90% of the oil’s composition.

Ricinoleic acid is a natural vasodilator. When massaged into the scalp or applied to the lash line, it helps increase blood circulation to the follicles. This surge of nutrients can "wake up" dormant follicles and strengthen existing ones, leading to hair that is thicker, longer, and more resilient. It is the gold standard for those looking to recover from hair thinning or seeking naturally lush eyelashes and bold eyebrows.

The unique chemical structure of MAYA Castor Oil allows it to fight off scalp infections and skin bacteria. It helps clear away the microbes that can cause dandruff and folliculitis, creating a sterile, healthy environment for growth to flourish.

Comprehensive Head-to-Toe Applications

For Hair Transformation

Scalp Treatment: Massage into the roots to combat dryness and promote growth.

Split End Sealer: Apply a tiny amount to the ends of the hair to prevent fraying and add a healthy weight and shine.

Natural Conditioner: Mix with your favorite carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) for a deep-conditioning mask that tames even the most stubborn frizz.

For Skin and Body Radiance

Deep Pore Cleansing: Due to its viscosity, it can be used in the "Oil Cleansing Method" to pull out impurities from deep within the pores without stripping natural moisture.

Stretch Mark and Scar Care: The deep-penetrating fatty acids help stimulate collagen and elastin production, softening the appearance of scars and stretch marks over time.

Intensive Moisturizer: Ideal for extremely dry areas like cracked heels, rough elbows, and dry cuticles.

For Eyelashes and Eyebrows

Apply a drop of MAYA Castor Oil to a clean spoolie brush before bed. Regular application helps coat the hair shafts, making them appear darker and fuller while providing the nourishment needed to prevent premature shedding.

Texture and Sensory Experience

MAYA Organic Castor Oil is known for its "Rich-Viscosity" texture. It is a thick, luxurious oil that provides an immediate protective barrier. While it is slower to absorb than lighter oils, this characteristic is what makes it such an effective "occlusive" moisturizer—sealing in hydration for hours. It has a mild, earthy, and nutty aroma, which is a hallmark of its unrefined and organic nature.

Safety and Ethical Standards

At MAYA, we believe beauty should be kind to the planet and the body:

Cruelty-Free: Never tested on animals.

Vegan: 100% plant-based with no animal-derived ingredients.

Sustainable Sourcing: We work with organic farmers who prioritize soil health and fair labor practices.

No Fillers: What you see on the label is what you get—100% pure organic castor oil.

How to Use for Maximum Results

Warm it: Castor oil is thick. Warming it slightly between your palms or in a warm water bath makes it easier to spread.

Dilution Tip: For easier application over large areas (like the scalp or body), mix MAYA Castor Oil in a 1:1 ratio with a lighter oil like almond or grapeseed oil.

Nightly Ritual: For lash and brow growth, consistency is key. Apply every night as the final step of your skincare routine.

The Deep Mask: For hair growth, apply to the scalp, cover with a shower cap, and leave for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before washing with a gentle shampoo.
