People have trusted Haitian castor oil for generations because of its rich history, natural purity, and powerful healing properties. Known locally as lwil maskriti, this oil has been a staple in Haitian households for everything from hair care and skincare to natural remedies for aches and inflammation. Unlike many mass-produced alternatives, Haitian castor oil is traditionally hand-pressed and unrefined, preserving its rich nutrients like ricinoleic acid, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids.
