Weight and Portability: Glass bottles are generally heavier than plastic, making them less convenient for travel or frequent handling. Material Inertness: Glass is an inert and non-reactive material, ensuring that it doesn’t interact with the organic castor oil, thereby maintaining its purity. Apart from light, exposure to air can also degrade the quality of the oil. Ensure that the bottle is tightly sealed. Also, store the oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. 6. Does the Type of Bottle Affect the Price of Castor Oil?

Castor oil is believed by some to have the potential to induce labor due to its laxative effects. It is thought to stimulate the intestines, leading to increased contractions in the bowels, which might indirectly stimulate the uterus. As a result, some pregnant individuals have tried using castor oil to induce labor naturally, especially if they're past their due date and looking for ways to encourage the onset of labor.Mein EA, Richards DG, McMillin DL, Nelson CD.

Chemical Leaching: Some plastics can leach chemicals, such as BPA (Bisphenol A), into the oil over time, especially when exposed to heat. This contamination can affect the oil’s quality and safety.

Pharm Biol. 2008;35(5):364-370.Castor oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the castor plant (Ricinus communis). Its chemical composition primarily consists of fatty acids, with ricinoleic acid being the most prominent. Ricinoleic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and analgesic effects, according to a number of studies. It also contains oleic and linoleic fatty acids in smaller quantities, but these contribute more to the stability and texture of castor oil than its health properties. To prolong the lifespan of your oil it comes in a sealed glass amber bottle which protects it from UV sunlight, heat and oxidisation which means it will last a full 18 months from the date of opening. An additional note here is the importance of selecting an organic oil over a conventionally produced one, as the former would have less toxicity. Pesticides, as an example, have a tendency to bioaccumulate in fats. 24 Fats such as castor oil have a predisposition to carry substances that are lipophilic. Why Castor Oil Must Be in a Glass Bottle Treating Burns, Sunburns, Cuts and Abrasions– it’s pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties reduce redness, swelling and inflammation.

Castor oil is your modern-day all-in-one go-to cosmetic and self-care oil used from head to toe for: Castor oil can be kept at room temperature because it’s a very stable oil. Never store your oil in a plastic bottle. Avoid pre-combining with other skin oils or essential oils to maintain integrity of the oil. Lightweight and Portable: Plastic bottles are easier to carry and handle, making them more convenient for travel. Glass is a non-reactive material, meaning it won’t leach chemicals into the oil, maintaining the oil’s purity. Here are the advantages of storing castor oil in a glass bottle: Chemical Leaching: Certain plastics can leach chemicals into the castor oil, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. This poses a risk to the purity and effectiveness of the organic castor oil.

Certain plastics can potentially leach chemicals into the oil, especially when exposed to fluctuating temperatures. This could alter the composition and reduce the efficacy of the oil. 4. How does Light Exposure Affect Castor Oil? Castor oil has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Studies suggest that it may play a part in improved wound healing. Just apply a few drops of castor oil to a cut or scrape or irritated skin and then cover the wound with a bandage or gauze. Repeat as necessary until your skin heals. Arthritis relief

Lower Cost: Plastic is generally cheaper to produce, so castor oil in plastic bottles tends to be less expensive for the consumer. Inducing labour– occasionally recommended by midwives, castor oil induces labour in pregnant women. Scientific research shows that Ricinoleic acid, the fatty acid that makes up ~90% of the oil, binds to one particular receptor in the uterus causing contractions which “ induces labor in pregnant females“ [2].
