Details
Herbal, ayurvedic, and natural are unregulated words on the Indian hair care shelf, and this is where that lack of regulation costs the customer the most. The standard commercial herbal hair oil is 50 to 77 percent light liquid paraffin (petroleum mineral oil), coloured green with synthetic dyes, heavily perfumed, and carrying an amla or herbal extract at a fraction of a percent so the plant can appear on the front label. Nothing about that is illegal. Our answer is verified arithmetic, published to the tenth of a percent. Carrier oils 86.0 percent: cold-pressed unrefined sesame at 70.0 and cold-pressed virgin coconut at 16.0. Whole dried herbs charged at 13.6 percent: bhringraj 4.0, amla 3.5, curry leaf 2.2, hibiscus 1.6, fenugreek 1.3, and neem 1.0, infused over 72 hours at gentle warm heat (48°C–52°C) under nitrogen blanket, then filtered to 1 micron to remove all spent fiber. Natural mixed tocopherols 0.4 percent. That is 100.0 percent and there is nothing else in the bottle.
- Deep Pre-Wash Conditioning: Sesame oil (*Tila Taila*) is the traditional Ayurvedic master carrier, penetrating the scalp and hair follicles. Virgin coconut oil supplies lauric acid (C12), which penetrates the hair cortex to shield internal keratin against hygral fatigue and protein loss during washing.
- Whole Herb Extraction: The word extract hides nothing here: these are whole dried botanicals infused directly into the warm oil base at a 1 to 6.3 ratio, not a glycol solvent extract dosed at 0.1 percent for marketing claims.
- Zero Mineral Oil, Tested per Lot: Mineral oil is screened out and proven absent on every batch by LC-GC-FID testing (MOSH and MOAH below 1.0 ppm). That is the rigorous laboratory test that catches paraffin adulteration.
- Radical Regulatory Honesty: Released as a cosmetic hair oil conforming to Indian Standard IS 7123 Type 1 under the Cosmetics Rules 2020, not as an ayurvedic medicine. It carries no fraudulent claims to regrow hair or reverse genetic alopecia.
- Honest Trade-Off (Aroma): The oil smells strongly of cold-pressed sesame and infused herbs. If you cannot wash it out before work, this is not the oil for a busy weekday morning. Zero synthetic perfumes, zero masking agents.
- Honest Trade-Off (Staining & Allergen): Natural plant pigments may stain light-coloured pillowcases. Sesame is a recognised food allergen (70% base); perform a 24-hour patch test on your forearm before scalp application.
- How to Use: Warm a small quantity between your palms. Part hair and massage gently into the scalp and along hair lengths. Leave on for 30 to 60 minutes (or overnight). Wash thoroughly with a gentle shampoo.
- Packaging: Type III pharmaceutical amber glass bottle with a narrow dispensing neck, precision snap-in orifice reducer flow plug, and unlaminated white-top kraft folding carton.

What is left out, and what took its place
- What is in a standard hair oil
- 50 to 77 percent Light Liquid Paraffin (petroleum mineral oil), synthetic coal-tar solvent dyes (CI 61565, CI 47000), 1 to 2 percent synthetic perfume, and BHT/TBHQ.
- What mineral oil does
- Provides cheap, inert lubrication and heavy occlusive shine. It does not penetrate the hair cortex or nourish the scalp; it sits on top as an impenetrable film.
- What mineral oil does not do
- It cannot deliver essential fatty acids, phytosterols, or botanical nutrients into hair fibers. It requires aggressive surfactant shampoos to wash out.
- In this bottle
- Zero mineral oil. Replaced entirely by 86.0 percent cold-pressed sesame and virgin coconut oils, delivering native lipids and lauric acid directly into hair fibers.
- Fragrance and essential oils
- Zero added perfume, zero essential oils, zero masking agents. Replaced by the natural, authentic nutty-earthy scent of cold-pressed sesame and infused herbs.
- Preservatives
- Zero chemical preservatives. Completely anhydrous formula with water activity aw < 0.20. Under ISO 29621 and IS 14648, microbial growth is impossible without water.
- Synthetic colourants
- Zero artificial dyes. The natural dull olive-brown tint comes directly from infused botanical leaves. Screened per lot by spectrophotometry; no synthetic dyes present.
