Can I get the same benefit when only using the oil & not the pack?

Applying Castor Oil alone can still be beneficial and nourishing for the skin, but using it with the pack plays an important role in helping you to relax and unwind.
It is thought that 50% of the benefits come from the Castor Oil itself, and 50% come from the pack, which provides gentle compression and warmth on the skin. Historically, Castor Oil Packs have always been applied this way.
