Your questions
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for oily or blemish-prone skin?
Yes: rich in linoleic acid, it nourishes without leaving a greasy film. 1 to 2 drops in the evening are enough.
Is its scent strong?
It has a natural peppery scent, the sign of a virgin, non-deodorised oil. Mixed with jojoba, it becomes much softer.
How do I use it on the scalp?
As an oil bath before shampooing: a few drops massaged into the scalp, left on for 30 minutes or overnight.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
As a precaution, avoid it during pregnancy, breastfeeding and for children under 3.
Should I do a test first?
Yes, as with any active oil: apply one drop in the crook of your elbow and wait 24 hours before first use.
Are black seed oil and nigella oil the same?
Yes, they are two names for the same oil, from the seeds of Nigella sativa.
Where can I buy a quality organic black seed oil?
Check three things: a genuine organic certification (ours is COSMOS Organic certified by Ecocert), a first cold pressing and a 100% pure oil in an amber glass bottle. Our organic black seed oil, in 50 or 100 ml, is packaged in France and shipped within 24 to 48 hours, with -10% from 2 oils and -15% from 3.
Black seed oil for hair: what results, before / after?
After a few oil baths, the scalp feels more comfortable and hair looks shinier and softer. For a complete ritual, our
hair growth pack combines black seed, castor and jojoba oils.
Can you drink black seed oil?
Not this one: our organic black seed oil is a cosmetic, for external use only on skin, beard and hair.
How long does a bottle last?
For the face, about 30 to 45 days for 50 ml (see "Product details").
How should I store it?
Bottle tightly closed, away from light and heat, 12 months after opening.
Can I mix it with other oils?
Yes, it's even recommended. On the face, one drop of black seed oil to two drops of jojoba softens its scent while keeping its benefits. For the scalp, mix it in equal parts with castor oil as an oil bath.
Morning or evening?
Preferably in the evening for the face, while its scent fades. For the scalp, apply it 30 minutes to a whole night before shampooing.
50 or 100 ml?
The 50 ml covers a face routine for several months. The 100 ml is better value if you also use it as a scalp oil bath. The discount applies from 2 bottles, even when mixing different oils.
How long does delivery take and what does it cost?
Your order is carefully packed within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered to a Chronopost relay point or to your door with Colissimo: you receive your tracking number as soon as it ships. Relay-point delivery is free from €45.
