About Thinai's Castor Oil (250ml)

Vilakkennai (விளக்கெண்ணெய்) is the Tamil name for castor oil. It got the name because it was once the everyday lamp oil in Tamil homes, and many families still light their agal vilakku with it for Karthigai Deepam.

How to use: For lamps, use a thick cotton wick and soak it in the oil for a few minutes before lighting; castor oil is heavy, so it burns slowly and steadily. It is also used the traditional way for weekly oil massage of the scalp and on eyebrows.

Pack: 250ml bottle. Thick, pale oil; it does not pour like cooking oil, so tip it slowly.

Not for cooking. Patch-test on skin before first use.
