Cold Pressed Sesame Oil

Single ingredient cold-pressed in-house

Cold pressed sesame oil is the base in which every Serapha hair oil herb infusion happens. We chose it specifically because sesame oil is naturally high in sesamol and sesamin — two of the most potent naturally occurring antioxidants in any plant oil. These compounds extend shelf life without synthetic preservatives and provide antioxidant benefit to the scalp with every use. Unrefined cold pressed sesame oil is warm, slightly nutty, and deeply conditioning. It is not the pale, neutral sesame oil typically sold for cooking. It is the oil your grandmother probably used for champi — and it is the most affordable oil we press.

Key Ingredients The Problem What to expect

White sesame seeds

Hair

Traditional champi — apply directly to the scalp and massage in circular motions. Leave one hour minimum. Wash out. The base oil your grandmothers used for a reason.

Body

Abhyanga — traditional Ayurvedic full body self-massage. Warming and deeply conditioning. Best used on slightly damp skin.

Cooking

Salad dressings, tadka, drizzled over dal and rice. Stronger flavour than refined sesame oil — use less than you think you need.

Why We Created This Product

Sesame oil is the most underestimated oil we press. It is also the cheapest to produce, which is probably why the market has never made much of it.

We use it as the infusion base for all four hair oil variants because no other carrier oil we tested held the herb compounds as effectively during infusion. The sesamol content creates an antioxidant environment that protects both the infused compounds and the oil itself from oxidising during the simmering process.

We make it available as a standalone because it is genuinely useful on its own — for champi, for Ayurvedic massage, for cooking — and because some customers want to understand what is in their Serapha hair oil at the ingredient level. This is the base. Everything else is built on top of it

Inside our process

100% cold pressed sesame seeds. Nothing added.

No refining | No bleaching | No deodorising | No preservatives | No additives

Note: This is unrefined cold pressed sesame oil. It has a warm, nutty scent and a golden colour. It is not the pale, neutral sesame oil sold for cooking — it is significantly more flavourful and aromatic.

Shelf life: 18–24 months from pressing date due to natural sesamol antioxidant content.
