Black Sesame Oil
Our Black Sesame Oil is cold-pressed from whole black sesame seeds, yielding a deep golden-brown oil with the rich, toasted aroma the seed is known for. Pressing without heat keeps the naturally occurring sesamol and sesamin intact — the compounds that make sesame oil unusually stable in the bottle. Known in Ayurveda as til tailam, it has been a mainstay of both the Indian kitchen and traditional abhyanga massage for centuries, valued as much for cooking as for daily body and hair care.
