Looking for a natural way to incorporate castor oil into your self-care routine? DIY castor oil cloth applications are a traditional and popular approach used in home wellness and beauty rituals. In this guide, we’ll show you how to prepare a cloth application method that can be used in your personal care routine.
What is a Castor Oil Cloth Application?
Castor oil cloth applications involve soaking a soft piece of cloth—often unbleached cotton—in cold-pressed castor oil and placing it over the desired area of the body. This practice has been used in various traditional self-care routines and is appreciated for its warming, emollient texture.
How to Create a Castor Oil Cloth Application
If you're looking to buy castor oil, The Castor Oil Company offers premium, cold-pressed, organic, and hexane-free castor oil—ideal for external personal care use.
Materials You’ll Need:
- Cold-pressed castor oil
- Unbleached cotton flannel or a clean dense cloth
- An old towel or cloth to protect surfaces
Step-by-Step:
1. Prepare Your Space:
Lay down an old towel or cloth to protect your surfaces.
2. Soak the Cloth:
Pour castor oil onto the cotton cloth until well-saturated but not dripping.
3. Application:
Place the soaked cloth onto your desired area (e.g., abdomen or back). To prevent oil transfer, you may use plastic wrap or another towel on top. Relax for 30–60 minutes.
4. Clean-Up:
Remove the cloth and gently wipe the area with a damp towel or dry cloth. The castor oil cloth can be reused a few times—store in a sealed container in the fridge between uses.
