Tropic Isle Living was launched in 1992 with the conviction to bring to market a range of Jamaican herbs and herbal products that have been valued for generations for their benefits to the hair, skin, and body. Did you know that Tropic Isle Living Founder, Michael Anthony Hines, and herbalist Rashan Abdul Hakim coined the phrase "Jamaican Black Castor Oil" to differentiate our traditional Jamaica-made oil from other castor oils Yes! We introduced Jamaican black castor oil to the beauty and health industries over 30 years ago. Since then Tropic Isle Living has been specializing in making natural hair, skin, and body care products from oils, herbs, and berries from Jamaica, the rest of the Caribbean, and Africa. Our products are not massed produced, they are mostly made in the old-fashioned, traditional, hand-processed way. We do so because it is one way to preserve the natural magnetism of our products while paying homage to the elders and ancestors that passed on the knowledge.
Our most popular product is the Jamaican Black Castor Oil. It is a powerful and proven hair conditioner, but it is also traditionally used for: aches and pains, laxative, skin issues, breast massage, detoxifier, and much more. The effectiveness and the multiple benefits of this wonderful healing oil have prompted us to use it as a base in Tropic Isle Living's other hair and skin products including our: Coconut Black Castor Oil, Black Castor Oil Hair Food, Black Castor Oil Protein Conditioner, Black Castor Oil Shampoo, Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil, our other Hair Growth line, and Smooth Natural Oils. We invite you to use our Tropic Isle Living's Black Castor Oil Line of Hair products for a healthy scalp, and healthier, stronger, longer and thicker hair.
