Review (4/5): Test Small Amounts Sparingly First
I decided to purchase some castor oil at the recommendation of a friend to promote hair/lash growth. The order was prompt and packaged well. I love the bottle that it comes in, and it serves as a bonus cute decoration in my bathroom. I applied the oil to my top and bottom lashes with a q-tip at night to promote hair growth. After a few days of this, I noticed that I started to develop several chalazions in my eyelids which form when oil glands in the eyelid become blocked/clogged. I also tested a little bit out on my face as a moisturizer and noticed that a small pimple formed the next day. After giving the regimen a rest, I have slowly begun to try to apply it again and it doesn't seem as though any new chalazions are forming, so maybe it was purely coincidental. I kept the four stars because the quality of the oil is good and it seems to be a fair price for what you get. I would just encourage anyone to use sparingly and test small areas of skin first before liberally applying anywhere.
