Discover how to incorporate this golden ray of morning sunshine into your daily routine!

BABY OIL

Sesame oil is highly regarded in India for its remarkable affinity with muscles and bones, making it a popular choice for baby care. It is believed that applying sesame oil on babies not only nourishes and moisturizes their delicate skin but also gets absorbed into the bones, promoting strength and growth. Additionally, some of our clients have noticed increased hair growth in the areas where the oil is applied on their babies.

MAKE UP REMOVAL

Sesame oil serves as an excellent cleansing oil, especially for removing makeup. To effectively use it as a makeup remover, apply the oil gently all over your face and massage it to dissolve the makeup. Then, wipe it off using a soft cotton ball or tissue paper. For further cleansing, you can follow up by exfoliating your skin with Mung Bean powder to eliminate any remaining oiliness.

HAIR & SCALP OIL

Sesame oil is rich in antioxidants that can promote hair growth and prevent hair fall. For optimal results, massage sesame oil onto your scalp and hair roots, allowing it to sit for approximately half an hour before rinsing it off.

WOUNDS & BURNS

Cold-pressed sesame oil aids in the accelerated healing of wounds and burns. It possesses a substantial amount of antioxidants that promote skin cell regeneration, along with natural antiseptic properties that help prevent infections. For optimal results, apply sesame oil to the affected areas of wounds and burns after your morning shower and before bedtime, ensuring that the skin remains thoroughly moisturized at all times.

APPLY ON INFLAMED SKIN

Our fresh Cold-Pressed Sesame Oil is abundant in Vitamin E and other antioxidants, making it a natural anti-inflammatory oil. It is particularly beneficial for treating rashes and psoriasis. To alleviate discomfort, simply apply the oil to the affected area until the itch subsides.

OIL BATH

In India, sesame oil is widely used in Oil Baths. To enjoy its benefits, apply a few drops of sesame oil on your body immediately after showering and allow it to fully absorb into the skin before drying off with a towel. Alternatively, you can apply the oil on your body before taking a hot shower to shield the skin and preserve its natural protective oils from being stripped away by the water. Experience the difference as your skin will feel nourished and rejuvenated, no longer appearing dry or lackluster after your shower.

MOISTURIZER AND SUNSCREEN

Our cold-pressed sesame oil is exclusively derived from black sesame seeds, known for their ability to absorb abundant sunshine energy. This unique quality is reflected in the oil's warming and moisturizing properties, which also provide a natural SPF 6 protection against the sun. Packed with essential nutrients such as vitamin E, zinc, and other skin-nourishing nutrients, our sesame oil nourishes the skin deeply. Its small molecules enable deep penetration without clogging pores, making it an ideal natural moisturizer. For enhanced absorption, you can mix a small amount of water with the oil before applying it to your skin.

MASSAGE

Our sesame oil is enriched with natural magnesium, known for its muscle-relaxing properties. Combined with its warming quality, the oil deeply penetrates the layers of muscles, making it an excellent choice for massage. To use it as a massage oil, simply rub a few drops in your palms and gently massage it into your sore muscles. As the oil absorbs into the skin, you will experience relaxation and relief in no time. For added benefits, you can mix our Sesame Oil with other healing oils to customize your massage experience.

OIL PULLING

Our cold-pressed sesame oil possesses natural antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for oil pulling. Incorporating oil pulling into your routine involves swishing the oil in your mouth for approximately 5 minutes after waking up and before brushing your teeth. This practice is believed to aid in preventing cavities and infections in the mouth.

SCAR HEALING

Enriched with a high amount of Vitamin E, our sesame oil is beneficial for healing fresh wounds and reducing scars. To utilize its healing properties, gently massage the oil onto the scar in the opposite direction. You can apply it as frequently as desired until the scar diminishes over time.
