Black Seed Oil (Kalonji Oil) – Cold-Pressed Nigella sativa Seed Oil
Our Black Seed Oil is a natural fixed oil obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of Nigella sativa. Also known as Kalonji Oil or Black Cumin Seed Oil, it is supplied as a cosmetic raw material for professional skin-care, hair-care, soap and personal-care formulations.
The oil has a naturally deep amber to brown colour with a strong, distinctive aroma. Its scent is earthy, spicy and mildly bitter, which is normal for an unrefined cold-pressed seed oil. Natural variations in colour, aroma and consistency may occur according to the seed crop and individual production batch.
Cold pressing mechanically extracts the oil from the seeds without using an extraction solvent. The material is supplied undiluted, without added fragrance, synthetic colour or fillers.

Its deep colour and characteristic aroma should be considered during formulation trials, particularly in lightly coloured or delicately fragranced finished products.
The appropriate usage level will depend on the complete formulation, desired texture and intended cosmetic application. Small laboratory trials should be carried out before commercial production.
Quality and Batch Variations
Black Seed Oil is an agricultural material, so every batch may not look or smell exactly the same. A dark colour alone should not be treated as proof of purity or active-compound content. Product quality should be assessed using the batch COA, sensory evaluation and any additional testing required for the finished application.
Storage and Handling
Keep the container tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Minimise unnecessary exposure to air when opening or transferring the oil, as natural fixed oils can oxidise over time.
Always use clean, dry equipment. Follow the shelf-life and storage information provided for the specific batch. Do not use the material if it develops an unusual rancid odour or shows a significant change from its original condition.
