Amla Carrier Oil

Amla Oil, Indian Gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) Herbal Infused Oil in Sesame or Coconut Base for Hair Oils, Scalp Massage and Ayurvedic Formulations

Quick answer: Amla Oil is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal oil made by infusing amla, the Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica, also listed as Emblica officinalis), in a base of sesame oil or coconut oil. It has a mild, slightly tart, herbal-fruity smell and is used in hair oils, scalp massage oils and Ayurvedic-style hair care products. It comes in 100 ml and 500 ml bottles for home use and 1 kg to 25 kg packs for brands and bulk buyers.

Amla oil is one of the most familiar hair oils in Indian homes, used for generations in weekly hair oiling. It is an infused oil, made by steeping amla fruit in a carrier oil so that the oil takes on the fruit's colour and character. RV Organica prepares and packs it at our facility in Nimbri, Panipat, Haryana.

What is amla oil and how is it made?

Amla, Phyllanthus emblica, is a small, sour, pale green fruit that grows on a tree native to India and has a central place in Ayurveda. To make amla oil, the dried fruit is infused in a base carrier oil, sesame or coconut, and the oil is then filtered. It is not a pressed seed oil.

The finished oil carries the fatty acids of its base oil along with natural compounds from the fruit, including tannins, gallic acid and ellagic acid. Because it is an infused product, its colour and scent can vary a little from batch to batch. The COA for your batch confirms its base oil and values.

What does amla oil feel and smell like?

Amla oil is a pale yellow to golden green oil with a mild, slightly tart, herbal-fruity smell over the warmth of its base oil. A sesame base feels slightly richer and stays liquid, while a coconut base feels lighter and may turn solid in cold weather.

How do you use amla oil for hair and scalp massage?

Warm a small amount and massage it into the scalp with the fingertips, then work it through the lengths. Leave it on for an hour or overnight, and then wash with a mild shampoo. It blends well with bhringraj oil, brahmi oil, castor oil and coconut oil in traditional hair oil recipes.

Can you use amla oil in hair oil formulations?

Yes. Hair oil brands use amla oil as a herbal component in Ayurvedic-style hair oils, scalp oils and massage oils, often alongside bhringraj, brahmi, fenugreek and hibiscus. It can be scented with rosemary, lavender or other essential oils, and our essential oil dilution calculator helps you work out the ratio. Our herbal hair oils collection has other herbal oils to combine with it.

What are the specifications of amla oil?

How should you store amla oil?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. A coconut-base oil may turn solid below about 24°C, which is normal. Warm the closed bottle gently in warm water to liquefy it.

Is amla oil safe to use?
