Organic Black Seed Oil 500ml (Glass) – Cold & Freshly Pressed – Up to 5X% Strength Thymoquinone – 100% Pure Extra Virgin Cumin Black Seed Oil - By Alpha01

Good.quality oil a a reasonable price.

This stuff seems to be good quality, but it’s the first time I’ve bought it, so I haven’t anything to compare with. Some people when reviewing BSO say it tastes of gasoline and is disgusting to swallow, but I like the taste of this, which made me wonder if it was not the same or diluted. I don’t think that’s the case, I just have a high tolerance to bad tasting liquid lol. Have been using it for a variety of things, drinking a small amount daily for general health, and putting a little in my dogs home made food too. His coat seems better but that’s not a scientific analysis, just an observation. I tried rubbing a little around my eyes where I get dry eyelids in winter. It did seem to cure the dryness and soften the skin overnight. One thing I will say is if you get any in your actual eye (as I did) you will know about it!!! It’s not quite as stingy as shampoo but certainly uncomfortable. Just go careful around the eyes. I rubbed some into my scalp where I’d had some dryness (not dandruff so much as little scabby patches) and they healed up in a few days. I’m going to be using this a lot more, so have enlisted on subscription for it. Recommend it without reservations. Just wish they did a 1 litre bottle for about £17.

Very satisfied

Was recommended this. The smell isn’t great but doesn’t taste so bad. Plastic bottle and the lid is pretty poor quality. It leaks and everything it leaks on smells. Fine as long as you don’t knock it over though. Would buy again.

Good value for the money

The first thing to say is that this oil comes in a plastic bottle. I knew that when ordering as part of my try outs of various brands of black seed oil. So I'd never make this a preferred buy--not so much for environmental reasons as for possible leeching of microplastics into the oil. Most black seed oil brands come in glass bottles, which necessarily adds to their price but to me is preferable. This oil is by far the runniest and lightest in colour I've tried. That suggests to me a low proportion of black seed to carrier oil. I can't be sure on that, because black seed oil is a mysterious product with absolutely no regulatory guarantee to its composition. Buying it online is a challenge, which is why I'm experimenting with different brands to become more informed. Neat black seed oil, as crushed by machine from the seeds, is highly intense and would be both awkward to use and super expensive. So explanations for the huge, bewildering price variations in this market probably lie in the ratio of dilution to carrier oils and in the quality of those carrier oils. For me, it would feel counterproductive to consume black seed oil for my health if it were mixed with an unhealthy, cheap oil. To be fair to this oil, they say it is organic. That must apply to all the contents in the bottle--and you can't claim a product is organic if it isn't. But why you would put an organic oil in a plastic bottle I don't know, because plastic is not organic. (They also say this oil is "pure", but that's meaningless legally.) Since there's no legal definition of black seed oil that guarantees how much pure black seed oil is contained in each blend, I'm having to judge brands by texture and taste. My conclusion is that this product, though very thin, is genuine, which is why I give it 3 stars. It does taste like black seed oil (which has a peppery flavour you can't fake), if with a more metallic note than I've come across in other brands. I don't use black seed oil externally. But I guess a thinner solution would be much easier to apply to the skin, so there's that.

Really good quality pure and perfect for oral or topical and a great price

Awful taste but hopefully good for the body
