Why this formula
What's inside
Every ingredient, and what it is doing here.
-
Virgin coconut oil
Cocos nucifera Oil
Part of the carrier base. Long used as a hair oil in India on its own — here it shares the base rather than being the whole of it.
-
Sunflower seed oil
Helianthus annuus Seed Oil
Lightens the base. Coconut oil alone sits heavier than this formula was meant to.
-
Sesame oil, slow-infused
Sesamum indicum Seed Oil
The carrier the botanicals are infused into. Sesame has been used for infusions in Indian hair care for generations and holds a slow infusion well.
-
Amla, bhringraj, curry leaves, fenugreek, ratanjot
Emblica officinalis, Eclipta alba, Murraya koenigii, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Alkanna tinctoria
Selected from Indian hair-care tradition and slow-infused into the sesame oil rather than dropped in as extracts at the end.
-
Black seed oil
Nigella sativa Seed Oil
Cold-pressed, and a large part of the oil's distinctive character and scent.
-
Rosemary leaf oil
Rosmarinus officinalis Leaf Oil
Gives the blend its herbal top note.
-
Fragrance
Parfum
Listed on its own line rather than folded in among the botanical names.
-
Vitamin E
Tocopherol
Protects the oil blend from oxidation, so the last drop is the formula that was made.
The full INCI list is shown in the product information panel above.
The ritual
-
Part and apply
Part the hair in sections and place a few drops on the scalp, working through to the lengths.
-
Massage
Work in with your fingertips for 2–3 minutes, using slow circular pressure. Nails are harsher on the scalp than they feel.
-
Leave and wash
Leave on for at least an hour, or overnight, then wash out with a mild shampoo.
Exact frequency and timing for this product are given in the How to use panel above.
Questions, answered
Something not covered here? Write to hello@ishvari.in — a formulator will reply, not a script.
What does slow infusion mean here?
The botanicals are infused into cold-pressed sesame oil over time, rather than added at the end as ready-made extracts. It is a slower way to build the base, and it is the reason sesame is the carrier rather than something cheaper.
Is this a heavy oil?
It is lighter than a traditional coconut-based hair oil. Sunflower oil is in the base specifically to lighten it, so it sits more comfortably on the scalp.
How often should I use this oil?
Use 2–3 times a week, or as needed. Apply a few drops to the scalp and hair, massage gently for 2–3 minutes, then leave on for at least an hour or overnight before washing with a mild shampoo.
Does it have a strong smell?
It has a distinct herbal character. Black seed oil and rosemary carry most of it, and there is a small amount of added fragrance, listed on its own line in the ingredients rather than folded in among the botanicals.
Can I use it on coloured or chemically treated hair?
Yes. The oil goes on the scalp and hair and contains no mineral oil. Patch test first, as with anything new.
