Black seed oil prices in Nigeria by type (October 2026)
Mass-market brands
- Hemani, 125ml (Jumia): about ₦7,500 for one bottle, or ₦12,800 for two. That is roughly ₦60 per ml, one of the lowest per-ml prices we found.
- Hemani, 60ml and 125ml (online pharmacy): listed around ₦9,500 and ₦12,000.
- 125ml (Jiji, Ojodu seller): around ₦6,000.
- Very cheap listings, ₦3,000 to ₦4,000: these often don't state the bottle size. Check before you compare.
Oil labelled cold-pressed
- 100ml cold-pressed (Jiji): around ₦11,500, roughly ₦115 per ml.
- xHerbs cold-pressed, 200ml: ₦15,500 on xherbs.store, about ₦78 per ml, in a dark glass bottle with a single ingredient: Nigella sativa oil.
When we searched Jumia for "cold pressed black seed oil" in October 2026, it returned no results, so cold-pressed bottles are mostly sold through specialist sellers.
Imported premium brands
- Imported specialist brands, 100ml to 200ml: listed from about ₦38,000 to ₦66,000 at an online pharmacy, which is over ₦300 per ml.
Is xHerbs the cheapest? No, and here is why
We'd rather be straight with you: some mass-market black seed oils are cheaper per ml than xHerbs. What the extra roughly ₦18 per ml pays for is:
- Cold-pressing, stated on the label. Pressing without added heat or chemical solvents is the least processed way to make the oil, and it leaves no solvent residue.
- One ingredient: 100% Nigella sativa oil, with no blending oils.
- Dark glass, which protects the oil from light better than clear plastic.
- A seller you can walk into in Lagos, or order from again online.
If the lowest price is all that matters to you, a mass-market brand will do. If you want cold-pressed oil you can trace, the xHerbs bottle is mid-priced for that category. It is cheaper per ml than the 100ml cold-pressed listings and far cheaper than imported premium brands.

Habbatus sauda price in Nigeria
Habbatus sauda (or habba sauda) is the name many Nigerians, especially in the north, use for black seed. The oil is the same product, so the price ranges above apply. Be careful with search results that show "Niger seed" prices. Niger seed is a different plant (Guizotia abyssinica), and its prices don't apply to black seed oil.
Why black seed oil prices vary
- Bottle size: compare per ml, not per bottle.
- Extraction: cold-pressed oil yields less oil per kilo of seed than heat or solvent extraction, so it costs more to make.
- Origin and import costs: imported oil carries exchange-rate, shipping and duty costs.
- Purity: black seed oil is often cut with cheaper vegetable oils. Diluted oil can be sold cheaply.
- Packaging: dark glass and proper seals cost more than plastic.
