A black seed from Egypt
Nigella (Nigella sativa) has accompanied Egypt since Antiquity. There it is known as habbat al baraka, the blessed seed, and its use is documented from the pharaonic era onwards. This is not a fashionable plant: it is a culture that has crossed millennia on these lands.
That connection inspired the packaging of this oil: the colours of Egypt and hieroglyphs, a way of owning the origin rather than downplaying it. The bottle itself is UV-protective glass: light is the enemy of virgin oils, and this protection is not decorative.
Two certifications, two guarantees
This oil carries the Cosmos Organic signature, an international standard governing organic and natural cosmetics: origin of raw materials, processing methods, absence of controversial substances. It is a verifiable guarantee, audited by a third-party body.
It also carries a Kosher certification, attesting to strict adherence to manufacturing and traceability rules throughout the process. Two labels that together say something precise about how this product was made.
How to use black seed oil
By the spoonful
Its taste is bold, peppery and slightly bitter. The traditional way to soften it: a teaspoon mixed into a spoonful of honey.
In cooking, cold
Drizzled over a salad, fresh cheese or an already-served dish. Never heat it, as that would alter its qualities.
As a skin care oil
Applied in a thin layer, neat or diluted in a gentler plant oil, it nourishes and softens the skin.
As a hair treatment
As a pre-shampoo oil bath on the lengths and scalp, 30 minutes to an hour before washing.
Delicious pairings
Black seed oil pairs naturally with honey, which softens its peppery character. A spoonful of oil, a spoonful of honey and a few drops of lemon juice: it is the traditional mix, simple and quick to prepare in the morning.
The nigella range at Miel Impérial
To combine the oil with honey, discover our honey with habba sawda, where both are already brought together.
And for a characterful honey to pair with the oil, our Sidr Malaki honey from Yemen.
Precautions
• Prior test: before any application to the skin, place a drop in the crook of the elbow and wait 24 hours.
• On sensitive skin, use the oil diluted in another plant oil.
• Do not apply to the eyes, the eye area or mucous membranes.
• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice, nor for young children.
• When taken orally, consume in moderation. If you are on any medical treatment, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
• This product is a food-grade and cosmetic plant oil. It replaces neither a varied, balanced diet, nor medical treatment, nor the advice of a healthcare professional.
Storage
Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from light, heat and humidity. The UV-protective glass shields the oil from oxidation, but good storage conditions extend its freshness further. Respect the date shown on the packaging.
FAQ - Organic Egyptian black seed oil
What is habbat al baraka?
It is the Egyptian name for the black seed (Nigella sativa), literally the blessed seed. Its use in Egypt is documented from pharaonic Antiquity onwards.
What does the Cosmos Organic certification mean?
It is an international standard for organic and natural cosmetics. It governs the origin of raw materials, processing methods and the absence of controversial substances, with third-party auditing.
Why a UV-protective glass bottle?
Because light degrades virgin oils through oxidation. UV-protective glass filters part of the radiation and thus preserves the quality of the oil for longer.
What does black seed oil taste like?
A bold, peppery and slightly bitter taste, characteristic of a pure oil. The traditional way to soften it is to mix it with a spoonful of honey.
Can you cook with this oil?
Only cold: drizzled over a salad, fresh cheese or an already-served dish. Heating it would alter its qualities.
Can it be used on skin and hair?
Yes, externally: in a thin layer on the skin, neat or diluted in a gentler oil, and as a pre-shampoo oil bath for the hair. Always do a prior test in the crook of the elbow.
How should black seed oil be stored?
Bottle tightly closed, away from light, heat and humidity. Like any plant oil, it is prone to oxidation.
