TRANSPARENCY IS OUR TRADITION
Everything you need to know about purity, process and why Mittika is different
Is it safe to use on skin?
Yes, but patch test first. Black mustard is very potent and may irritate sensitive skin. Always warm slightly before massage use.
Why is it more expensive than yellow mustard oil?
Black mustard seeds cost 30-40% more, are harder to source, and yield less oil. Higher potency = higher price.
Can I use it for cooking?
Yes, but use half the amount you'd use with regular mustard oil. It's 2x more pungent. Best for Bengali, Kashmiri, and robust dishes.
Is it safe to consume?
Our oil contains <2% erucic acid (safe levels). Use in moderation. Check your local food regulations. Traditionally used in Indian cooking for centuries.
How often can I use it for hair?
2-3 times per week for best results. Massage into scalp, leave 1-2 hours or overnight, then wash with gentle shampoo.
