How to choose
Four cold pressed oils for skin — single-ingredient, unrefined, Truly Cold Pressed in wooden ghaanis. Nothing is bleached or deodorised out, which is why they smell of the seed and not of a laboratory.
- Badam (almond) — light, quick to absorb, carrying vitamin E naturally. The classic face and under-eye oil, and the badam rogan of the old malish.
- Coconut — pressed from dry kernel, cooling on the skin, solid below about 24°C and liquid in your palm a moment later.
- Black til — the classical abhyanga oil, warmed and worked in before a bath. Heavier, and it stays where you put it.
- Arandi (castor) — thick, tacky, external use only. A little goes a long way; most people cut it with almond or coconut.
No mineral oil, no fragrance, no synthetics, no fillers. Every batch lab-tested and the report published; FSSAI 10724999001232, ISO 22000, USFDA-registered facility. Patch-test first.
