Banyan Botanicals Organic Unrefined Sesame Oil 34 oz – Cold‑Pressed Ayurvedic Massage & Scalp Oil, Warming Nourishment

Banyan Botanicals Organic Unrefined Sesame Oil is a cold-pressed, USDA Organic Ayurvedic massage oil designed for warming, grounding full-body and scalp massage.

This oil follows a long Ayurvedic tradition: sesame seeds are harvested at optimal ripeness and cold-pressed without chemicals to capture a rich, golden oil that feels both nourishing and warming. It’s formulated for daily Abhyanga (self-massage), deep-tissue massage, and scalp care, offering a dense source of natural lipids and antioxidants while retaining the authentic aroma and texture of unrefined sesame.

What makes this sesame oil different from refined massage oils?

This is an unrefined, cold-pressed oil, so it keeps the seed’s natural scent, color, and nutrient profile rather than being deodorized or stripped. That means a fuller texture and warming sensation suited to traditional Ayurvedic uses.

• Cold-pressed to preserve natural components and aroma
• Unrefined—no deodorizing or high-heat processing
• USDA Organic and Non-GMO for ingredient integrity
• Third-party tested to confirm purity and safety

How does it perform during a self-massage or professional treatment?

The oil spreads easily and creates a lubricating layer for hands to glide, then gently warms on skin contact to aid deeper tissue work. It is appropriate for brisk, invigorating strokes or slow, soothing Abhyanga routines.

• Light enough to move across large body areas without greasiness
• Penetrates to support muscle pliability during long massage strokes
• Stable shelf life due to natural antioxidants—store away from direct heat
• Large 34 oz size supports frequent home or studio use

Can I use this oil safely on scalp and hair?

Yes—this organic sesame oil is commonly used for scalp massage to condition the scalp and hydrate hair strands. Warm a small amount before applying to increase comfort and distribution, then leave on or shampoo out depending on your routine.

• Use warming oil before a short scalp massage to ease tension
• Apply sparingly to hair ends for added moisture without heavy buildup
• Rinse with a gentle shampoo or use as an overnight pre-wash treatment
• Works well with traditional Ayurvedic head treatments like Shiroabhyanga

How should I store and use this bulk 34 oz bottle to get the most value?

Keep the container sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to protect the oil’s natural qualities. For daily rituals, dispense small amounts into a smaller pump bottle to maintain freshness while keeping the large supply for refills.

• Store away from sunlight and heat to preserve aroma and nutrients
• Use a glass or BPA-free dispenser for easier daily access
• Shake or swirl gently before use if sediment appears
• Follow recommended warming methods: warm water bath or brief hand warming

Who is this for? This product suits anyone seeking an authentic Ayurvedic massage oil: people who practice daily self-massage (Abhyanga), therapists who want a warming, deeply textured oil for clients, and those who prefer organic, unrefined plant oils for scalp and body care. It’s especially useful for people looking for a larger supply for frequent use or professional settings and for shoppers who value USDA Organic certification and third-party testing.
