Small classic castor oil for occasional laxative use or the hair-care routine.

Hercules Castor Oil is the double-life bottle of the traditional shelf. As the old-school laxative, its ricinoleic acid genuinely stimulates the small intestine, working within two to six hours, faster and harsher than colon-acting laxatives, which is why modern practice keeps it for occasional adult use only. Its second life is bigger: castor oil is the backbone of the natural hair-care movement, massaged into scalp and lengths as a rich occlusive conditioner, and that use, not the purgative one, now moves most bottles. The plain 100ml is the classic bottle, serving both the laxative tradition and the thriving castor-oil hair routine.
One traditional bottle, two honest jobs: a fast occasional purgative for adults who insist on it, and a hair and skin oil the natural-hair community buys on repeat. Knowing both jobs lets you counsel each buyer correctly, because the hair customer and the laxative customer need entirely different conversations.
