Hemani black seed oil is not organic

Maria Hurairah constantly states that Hemani is the best oil because it is pure, organic, cold pressed black seed oil. At least one of these claims is a lie, and another is questionable.

Hemani admits that their oil is watered down, although they refuse to admit what they dilute it with.Here is an email from Hemani saying that the product is not certified organic. Maria claims that there is no organic certification in Pakistan, where the oil is made. She claims that Hemani "believes" the oil is organic. While it is true that not having an organic certification doesn't mean the oil is NOT organic (it could very well be), it certainly doesn't help the buyer determine whether it's organic or not.


There are many companies that produce certified organic products. There are also plenty of small producers in the middle east producing quality, local black seed oil that is not certified organic but is still organic. I know that a lot of the farmers that go to the farmers market near my house don't bother with an organic certification either, because we know them and know that they are organic, so it's not worth the trouble. However, most of Maria's clients don't get the chance to buy first hand from local producers. They are having to buy from a larger company that can ship worldwide. If that is the case, why not buy from someone you know is certified organic?
The whole thing is just extremely questionable. Here we have a company that dilutes their oil and isn't open about it, sells the product at rock bottom prices, ships worldwide, and yet can't be bothered with an organic certification. There are better options out there!

  1. I have bought Hemani black seeds oil
    but it locks fake
    I have used on my foots for it's characteristics as a anti-fungal
    but it is fake an don't give any results
    it does not have viscosity so this is best way to conclude that it is fake.
