Everything You Need To Know
Q. How is this Kalonji Oil made?
A. Nigella sativa seeds, also known as black seeds, are pressed in traditional wooden churns (lakdi ghani). Vandan Agro produces this unrefined oil at its village unit in Satara, Maharashtra.
Q. What ingredients are used in this Kalonji Oil?
A. Kalonji seed oil (Nigella sativa / black seed oil) is the single ingredient. The facility also handles peanuts, tree nuts and oilseeds; check the full allergen information on your bottle.
Q. What makes this Kalonji Oil worth choosing?
A. A straightforward ingredient list, slow wooden pressing and village-based production in Satara make this a distinctive black seed oil. Its strong herbal aroma is characteristic of kalonji. Choose it for its traditional preparation, and follow the bottle’s intended uses and precautions; refer to product specifications rather than assuming a particular thymoquinone concentration.
Q. How can I include Kalonji Oil in my personal-care routine?
A. Use for hair, scalp, skin care or massage only as directed on the bottle. Patch-test first, avoid eyes and broken or irritated skin, and stop if irritation occurs. Consume it only if your bottle is labelled edible, following its directions. It is not a treatment for hair loss, skin conditions, joint pain or respiratory conditions.
Q. What is the shelf life, and how should I store it?
A. The shelf life is 9 months from manufacture. Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat and moisture. Follow the bottle's best-before date and after-opening instructions. Keep the original bottle upright in a cool, dry, dark cupboard, away from sunny windows, the stove and other heat sources. Close the cap promptly and tightly after every use to limit contact with air. Keep water, steam and wet utensils out of the oil; use only clean, completely dry utensils and do not pour used oil back into the bottle. Note the opening date and follow the printed best-before date and any shorter after-opening instructions on the pack. Opening does not restart the shelf life. Do not continue using oil if it develops an unusual rancid or stale smell; contact us if you are unsure.
