Product Overview

Bottle Gourd Seed Carrier Oil—cold-pressed from nutrient-dense bottle gourd seeds (Lagenaria siceraria, locally known as Lauki seeds)—is a traditional, highly soothing, and lightweight fixed carrier oil celebrated in Ayurvedic hair care, scalp-cooling treatments, and calming facial skincare. Naturally abundant in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids—predominantly linoleic acid (Omega-6, typically 45%–60%) alongside oleic acid (Omega-9), natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), and phytosterols—it delivers exceptional emollient and cooling benefits. It imparts a pale yellow to golden clarity, a mild, clean, nutty-neutral aroma, and a silky, soothing skin finish that provides natural relief for dry scalps and stressed skin.
