Do I need to wash my Castor Oil Pack Before First Use?

Before your first use, it’s a good idea to wash your Castor Oil Pack. You can do this in the washing machine with an all-natural detergent or soap, as new research from the National Institute of Health indicates that even organic materials may contain traces of chemicals from transportation, packaging, and warehousing. Washing can significantly reduce or eliminate these residues, much like you would wash your produce before consumption. This is especially important for those with sensitive skin, as trace chemicals can sometimes cause mild reactions.
