Does castor oil promote eyelash growth?

The available scientific studies to date are insufficient to assert that castor oil promotes eyelash growth. However, it can nourish the hairs, which ensures their better health. Consequently, healthier eyelashes are less likely to fall out.

Can castor oil be used undiluted on the skin?

Yes, this is possible. However, as castor oil has a rather oily texture, most people prefer to mix it with a lighter vegetable oil such as jojoba oil.

With a comedogenicity index of 1, castor oil is considered to be mildly comedogenic, meaning that the risk of it clogging the skin's pores is relatively low. However, since the concept of comedogenicity varies from person to person and castor oil has a greasy texture, individuals prone to skin imperfections are advised to exercise caution.
