Bureau of Standards Jamaica Verified Purity
We adhere to the highest scientific and regulatory standards in Jamaica under standards JS 349 & JS 350. Never diluted, never chemically treated.
BSJ Standards JS 349 & 350
Formally evaluated by the Bureau of Standards Jamaica for chemical purity, flash point, acid value, and absence of harmful adulterants.
Zero Added Salt Guarantee
Many commercial brands add salt during boiling to artificially accelerate oil yield, which dries out fragile hair. Myrtle's Oils is strictly salt-free.
Traceable Batch Integrity
Each bottle features fresh packaging dates and batch numbers directly from our facility at 154 Ardenne Ave, Spanish Town, St. Catherine.

Product of St. Catherine, Jamaica
Certified Authentic by Miss Myrtle
Our Seal is Your Protection Against Dilution
Because authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil is globally prized for its unique fatty acid composition, counterfeit and diluted blends have flooded the market. Many products contain less than 10% real castor oil mixed with low-grade soybean or canola oil.
When you purchase from Myrtle's Oils and More, you receive genuine, viscous, unrefined oil that retains its natural ash, ricinoleic acid content, and therapeutic benefits.
