Where do you buy Castor Oil?

[Cherokee-n-Black]

I know it may be a dumb Q, but I don't see it in any stores. Been to grocery, drug store, homeopathic, vitamin shoppe, beauty supply...?

Do you mean Black Castor Oil? If so, I live in Brooklyn and I have a couple of places to get it: At a mom 'n pop bss called (Hair Paradise) and I also get it from a Haitian Botanical store on Flatbush (Jackie's). You can order it on line too...the ladies will chime in with some websites.

You can find regular castor oil at a pharmacy, supermarket, walgreen, etc

The Vitamin Shoppe has cold-pressed castor oil.

The Vitamin Shoppe has cold-pressed castor oil.

Dude, I was just there and the guy looked at me like I had a second head and said "no." I didn't think it should be so hard to find, but it is. What section would it be in, in either the grocery store or drug store?

Castor oil is usually with the laxatives. I don't know why that guy said no, but vitamin shoppe usually has it. I get mine from Whole Foods, it's usually with the other oils.

 

[BrownEyez22]

I get it at Whole Foods, but I've seen it at walgreens & vitamin shoppe.

You can get it most stores. If you go to a "commercial" store like Walmart, Walgreens or a reg supermarket it will be with the laxatives. If you go to a health food store like Whole Foods, Sprouts or Sunflower it will be in the "homeopathic" section with the essential oils, Aloe Vera Juice, and natural/organic shampoos, cons, and cosmetics.

I am Really "Digging" the Jamacian Black Castor Oil right now. I get mine from
Sams 24 7.com.

The Other Castor Oil (Cold Pressed) I have, I got it at the Health Food Store in the "Beauty Section" (where the Glycerin & Stuff is).

I was told, by a friend, that the Laxative Castor Oil, is "Not" the "Castor Oil" you should use for your Hair. It should be the Cold Pressed if not the JBCO.

Not the Laxative.

oooh! Thanks for the head's up! I looked in the laxative section but (luckily) it wasn't there! LOL Otherwise I probably would have picked it up! I have to go back to the Vitamin Shoppe, the guy didn't even look or try to help me find it--didn't even direct me to the products section.

 

[Honey-Dip]

I get the cold pressed from Whole foods.

 

[Pandora1975]

I get it at the Indian grocery. Standard, not black.

 

[chellero]

I get it at the vitamin shoppe.

It will 100% be in the natural section with other oils, conditioners, shampoo, creme, etc...

What's the difference? I've actually used both.
