Reviewed By: Megan Posted: Tuesday, May 6, 2025 Location: Ashland, OR Comments: While the oil itself is high quality — organic, cold pressed, and hexane free — I was very concerned to receive it in a soft plastic bottle. Castor oil is known to pull chemicals from plastic, which can contaminate the oil and undermine its purity and safety. This is a serious issue, especially for those using castor oil therapeutically or internally. I urge the company to switch to glass packaging to protect the integrity of this otherwise excellent product. FNWL Response: Thank you for your review and for recognizing the quality of our Organic Castor Oil. There is misinformation about castor oil being spread online. We use PET bottles. PET is widely used throughout the personal care industry for storing oils, including Organic Castor Oil, and other products. It is recognized for its chemical stability, safety, and resistance to leaching when used in normal conditions. Whether you keep it stored in its original bottle or transfer it to glass, it's important to keep your oils, including your Organic Castor Oil, stored in cool conditions away from sun exposure. We package our oils in PET bottles instead of glass to help prevent breakage during shipment and to reduce shipping weight. This is particularly important for long-distance shipments of bulkier sizes such as yours. Glass poses practical risks during transit that we must carefully balance with product integrity and shipping safety. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to evaluate our packaging options as part of our ongoing commitment to quality and customer care.
