Silky Smooth and volume too

the body creme goes one without being too weighty or overly oil. The Haitian castor oil leaves my hair and beard soft and glowing after a wash. My skin is all the more vibrant and resilient with these products. I've bought more and given away to friends.

It's the real deal

No more relatives going to Haiti for you to get a huge jar of Haitian castor oil that you have to be stingy with because you won't get another for another decade. Now this is the real castor oil and already my pregnancy stretch marks are fading and my eyebrows are getting thicker. And my hair... Soft and strong to perfection. I need a big jar now.

Liquid Gold!!!!

What can I say about this oil?? Growing up in a Haitian household in the states, I was fortunate enough to have family still in Haiti that was able to send us castor oil whenever they could (by the bottle!! I could only imagine the actual cost of that) and surely enough we used it for EVERYTHING! And now, as an adult, I am so happy when to have found this company that both supports my people in Haiti by providing them with jobs and presents the castor oil in such a beautiful way. I love the lavender scent because the idea of having castor oil have a different scent other than the thick earthy lingering scent I was used to, intrigued me so much, I just had to try the lavender and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!. It smells amazing and the lavender scent is soft and flowery. I use it on my hands, feet, scalp and hair, eyebrows, etc!! It'd helping my hair grow and keeping my skin moisturized and soft. I am hooked for life!

NEW! Haitian Black Castor Oil Organic Mango, Papaya, & Coconut 100% Natural 2.0oz

Thank God I went ahead and ordered a second castor oil! Not only have my family and friends notice the healthy difference in thickness in my hair, I love the smell that comes with the oil! My hair is soooooo moisturized even after three days of initial use and I appreciate my hair much more now. I already know I’m going to order my third bottle of a new castor oil pretty soon :)

Feels and Smells Like Heaven

I placed myself on the waitlist for this item and I'm so glad i did! It's a wonderful product that I use frequently.....on my skin after a shower, in my hair, and I've also mixed it with vaseline to make a nighttime lip mask. It will forever be a staple in my beauty routine.

Mango/papaya/coconut

Large bottle, will last a long time! but I think the mango/papaya/coconut scent is very strong, almost like candy. Maybe it was the papaya, would have loved for it to have more of a coconut scent! I’m going to try putting a little in my conditioner bottle but just using it as a moisturizer is too much scent. If I order again I’ll get non-scented for sure.
