Can I mix this castor oil into my creams, balms, or masks? — Cosmetic castor oil 100 ml medikomed

Because this oil is deliberately rich and thick, it works well as a booster when your usual cream, balm or mask feels too light. Take your normal portion of the product into your palm, add 1–2 drops of the castor oil, and mix them together before applying. This way you keep your usual routine and simply make the texture heavier and more emollient.

Blending it in your hand also lets you control the amount: if the formula starts to feel too greasy, reduce to a single drop next time. It is also often used for facial massage, so you can apply a thin layer to dry areas you want to soften, but if your skin is very oily or reactive, start with a small amount and use it only where your skin feels dry rather than all over your face. For the body, a few drops can be added to a body lotion, but avoid applying to broken, irritated or sunburnt skin. If a product with castor oil stings or produces a rash, stop using it and avoid adding this oil to other preparations until you understand what caused the reaction.
