Is Your “Natural” Castor Oil As Clean As They Say?
The hidden truth about ‘clean beauty’ claims – and what to check before your next drop touches your skin.
by Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND (inactive)published: 07/25/2025
You’ve probably seen it everywhere:
"USDA Organic."
"Cold-pressed."
“Glass-Bottled.”
"Hexane-free."
It all sounds clean and trustworthy…
But here’s the truth most brands won’t tell you:
- Others say “organic” — without USDA certification.
- Some boast “glass-bottled” — but store the oil in plastic vats first.
- And “hexane-free”? That often relies on supplier paperwork… not real testing.
It’s not that these terms are lies.
It’s that they’re often just half the story.
So if you’re using Castor Oil on sensitive areas - your skin, eyes, belly, brows, lashes - here are 6 things you must know before your next drop touches your body:
1. "Glass Bottled" Doesn’t Always Mean Plastic-Free
Many oils are cold-pressed, filtered, and stored in plastic vats before bottling.
And Castor Oil is a carrier oil — making it more likely to leach microplastics or toxins during processing.
Queen of the Thrones® uses stainless steel containers from press to pour, with only minimal plastic exposure, ever.
Because purity doesn’t start in the bottle. It starts long before that.
2. Most Brands Never Test for Contaminants
Pesticides. Mold. Heavy metals. Bacteria. Many brands skip this step entirely, trusting the supplier.
We don’t.
Every batch we bottle is third-party lab tested and functionally assessed for both purity and function — because when your oil touches delicate areas, “probably clean” just isn’t good enough.

3. Rancid Smell? It Might Be Diluted or Old
If your Castor Oil smells musty, bitter, or slightly off — it likely is.
Poor storage and long shipping times break oils down. So can mixing with cheaper fillers.
Queen of the Thrones® smells like it should:
Mild. Nutty. Earthy. Never rancid.
4. The Founder Isn’t Just a Face. She’s a (Former) Naturopathic Doctor.
Many brands are faceless private labels.
Queen of the Thrones® was built by Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND (inactive) — a former naturopath who spent years working with Castor Oil both in clinical settings and in her personal life.
She didn’t private-label a product. She built one. From the ground up. And now over 600 clinical practitioners carry it in their own practices.
5. Is The Castor Oil Brand You’re Choosing Trusted by Over 600 Clinical Practitioners?
While most Castor Oil brands are built for mass retail shelves or Amazon search results, Queen of the Thrones® is trusted in over 600 clinics and wellness practices across North America.
Naturopaths, functional medicine doctors, and integrative health practitioners use it in protocols ranging from skin care to daily wellness practices — because they trust the sourcing, testing, and formulation.
When clinical professionals choose a product not just for their patients, but for themselves?
That’s a different level of credibility.
Queen of the Thrones Castor Oil is one of my favorite wellness rituals. I use it daily—never skipping my castor oil pack—because it's become a core part of how I support my body’s soothing nighttime routine so that I can feel grounded and calm. I also love using the oil topically for its skin-soothing, and anti-aging benefits—it’s truly a multitasking self-care essential.

The Bottom Line?
Castor Oil is powerful. But only if it’s pure, fresh, and sourced with care.
If you’re already using Castor Oil — or thinking about starting — make sure it’s the kind that actually has your well-being in mind.
