Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Pure Butter - Stimulates Hair Growth, Moisturizes Hair & Skin - 8 oz

It works as specified

I watched a video of an esthetician prior to receiving this product who was raving about castor oil, particularly black castor oil. She was describing the characteristics of it and how its made. I'm glad I did. I was better prepared for the scent of it. Had I not known I may have been put off by it. It's not offensive at all. But because it's a nut and the nut is roasted, this is where the "black" color comes from. As a result it has somewhat of a smoky scent to it! If you're looking for something sensual or perfume-y, this isn't it. But the scent does fade after you put it on. BODY: Now, I purchased this with the intent of using it as an all over body moisturizer, head to toe! This says "butter" on the jar, but it's more like cold petroleum jelly and isn't easy to spread. If you plan to use this all over, you will have to mix it with another moisturizer that has more viscosity to make is spreadable. I have hand excema so my skin tends to have dark dry patches and I'm SUPER sensitive to a lot of things. I can't use just anything. This castor oil "butter" has been really helpful in giving my hands a deep moisture and it feels very relieving. Ive also been using it on my lips, even before bed. Now most things with this thickness would make me greasy and I would break out. Nope! This butter absorbs very well into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. HAIR: I've used it on my hair. I have really curly hair and it drinks anything I put in it. So after day 4 or 5 of washing my hair, my hair gets really dry and feels brittle to the touch. Well, I'm coming up on a week and my hair is still moisturized and it's really soft! It does leave somewhat of a coating on your hair, not greasy. I suspect that this is part of the benefit of the castor oil. Castor oil performs like petroleum jelly but without clogging yours pores. It coats, but without the clog. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes in my hair and skin with this product. I would buy this again! I may try the lavender scent next go round!

Oh my gosh, I am OBSESSED. It’s everything you love about Vaseline but better and HEALTHY! I love castor oil but this takes the cake!! What a great innovation. It applies to my skin so beautifully. It’s like a less greasy Vaseline with a gorgeous sheen on your skin, and yet is pure castor oil. Castor oil is so so good for your skin and body. I am hooked.

Received hair butter today. Started using today for dry flaky psoriasis scalp. So far so good. No signs of skin irritation. Product came quickly and packaged well in bubble wrap. The hair butter is thick so no need to use a lot of it or will most likely cause your to be greasy and heavy. I used very little on my scalp then add more if needed. It's very moisturizing and the scent is light and does not linger. **Will post again for updated reviews. Hoping this will help my itchy scalp.

Great product. Is making my edges grow. It also hold moisture in my C4 hair.

Definitely keep me and my babies dry hair feeling and looking moisturized for a couple days with no other product. Must try.

I've ordered this before and it was a lot thicker. This one was more liquid and spilled in the package. 😭 I will use what is left.

Great product so far, bought a jar for my son and myself and perfect for our hair and texture, best we’ve experienced up to this point!

Great product highly recommended

Excellent product. I've been using this to help my hair regrowth after chemo. I've been massaging directly into my scalp and happy yo say it's helping. My hair is thicker & hair growth is working. Product is a bit sticky but it is great.

It holds your hair and strengthens for 24hrs

I thought it would be easier to distribute but it's actually quite hard in the jar. That said, the castor oil works! I would rate this product 5/5 if it was a little softer and had a hint of fragrance. I do like the other creamy white castor oil product from this brand though.
