Organic Mandya Castor Oil, commonly known as arandi ka tel, is a time-tested natural oil extracted from castor seeds using a cold-pressed method. This process ensures that the oil retains its natural nutrients, including ricinoleic acid, making it highly effective for both hair and skin care. Unlike refined oils, this Organic Mandya castor oil remains thick, unprocessed, and true to traditional usage.

For generations, arandi oil has been part of Indian households, valued for its ability to nourish deeply and protect naturally. Whether used for strengthening hair roots, hydrating dry skin, or supporting simple wellness routines, castor oil continues to be one of the most trusted natural remedies.

This castor oil stands out because it avoids synthetic additives, artificial fragrances, and chemical processing. Its slightly dense texture is a sign of purity, allowing it to form a protective layer over hair strands and skin, locking in moisture effectively.

Known across regions as:

  • Kannada: Haralenne
  • Hindi: Arandi ka tel / अरंडी का तेल
  • Tamil: Amanakku ennai (ஆமணக்கு எண்ணெய்)
  • Telugu: Amudam
  • Malayalam: Avanakku enna

  • Gujarati: Divel tel
  • Bengali: Rerir tel

No matter the name, the benefits remain consistent. This Organic Mandya castor oil is designed for those seeking a simple, natural, and effective solution for daily care without relying on chemical-based products.

Using castor oil correctly is key to getting the best results. Its thick texture means a little goes a long way.

  • Massage gently into the scalp using fingertips
  • Apply lightly along hair length if needed
  • Leave for at least 1–2 hours or overnight
  • Wash with a mild shampoo

How to Use for Skin:

Due to its natural composition, the oil may thicken slightly in cooler temperatures—this is completely normal and does not affect quality.

Safety & Usage Considerations:

  • Patch test recommended for sensitive skin

Because it is unrefined, the oil may have a natural earthy aroma and slightly yellow tint—both indicators of authenticity. Its viscosity (thickness) is also a sign that it has not been diluted or altered.

Rich in ricinoleic acid, it coats the hair shaft and locks in moisture, which is why it has been used across Indian households for generations on hair, brows, lashes and very dry skin.

This is cosmetic-grade castor oil, made for hair and skin. It is not food and must not be swallowed. Remove the FSSAI badge from this page and move the product out of the Edible Oils collection.

FAQ

Is this castor oil edible?
No. This is cosmetic-grade castor oil, intended for external use on hair and skin only. Do not consume it.
Can I use castor oil during pregnancy?
Speak to your doctor first. Castor oil is traditionally associated with inducing labour, and we do not recommend using it in pregnancy without medical advice.
Is arandi ka tel good for hair?
Castor oil is a rich, conditioning oil. It coats the hair shaft and helps hair look thicker, softer and glossier, and it moisturises a dry scalp. It is very thick, so most people dilute it with a lighter oil. Results build gradually with regular use.
Does castor oil make hair grow faster?
Castor oil conditions hair and scalp and improves the look and feel of hair. We do not claim it makes hair grow, and the evidence for that is limited. Use it as a nourishing hair oil, not as a treatment for hair loss.
How do I identify pure castor oil?
Pure castor oil is thick, slightly yellow, and has a mild natural scent without artificial fragrance.
Why is this oil so thick?
That is the nature of pure castor oil. It has an unusually high viscosity, which is exactly why it coats hair and seals moisture into dry skin. Dilute it with coconut, sesame or almond oil if you find it hard to spread.
Does castor oil help dry skin?
Yes, it deeply moisturizes and helps reduce dryness due to its rich fatty acid profile.
Where can I buy Organic Mandya castor oil online?
You can buy Organic Mandya castor oil (arandi ka tel) directly from Organic Mandya's website for assured purity and freshness.
