Amla Oil
Amla Oil, also known as Indian Gooseberry Oil, is a natural oil derived from the fruit of the Phyllanthus emblica tree, either through infusion of dried amla fruits in a carrier oil (like coconut or sesame) or via cold pressing. Rich in vitamin C, tannins, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids, amla oil is renowned for its rejuvenating and nourishing properties. It is widely used in hair care formulations to promote hair growth, strengthen follicles, and reduce hair fall and premature greying. Amla oil is also applied topically to skin for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing benefits. With a slightly earthy aroma and light to medium viscosity, it blends easily with other cosmetic ingredients and essential oils.
It is a staple in Ayurvedic formulations and finds use in both personal care and traditional wellness products. Its versatility also extends to massage blends and herbal preparations in the cosmetic and nutraceutical sectors.
Black Castor Oil
Black Castor Oil is a highly viscous, nutrient-dense oil extracted from roasted castor beans (Ricinus communis). Unlike traditional castor oil, this variant is produced by roasting the beans before pressing, resulting in a dark amber to black hue and a distinct, smoky aroma. The roasting process enhances the oil’s ricinoleic acid content, giving it superior anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and moisturizing properties.
It is widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and pharmaceutical formulations due to its ability to promote hair growth, strengthen roots, hydrate dry skin, and soothe scalp conditions. It also acts as a natural humectant, drawing moisture into skin and hair. In traditional wellness and therapeutic practices, Black Castor Oil is valued for its warming and circulatory-boosting effects.
