What the xHerbs Black Seed Oil bottle looks like
The bottle is 200ml dark amber glass with a white cap and a deep green label. The top band reads "xHerbs.store, Natural, Fresh & Organic Herbs", and under the product name a yellow strip says "100% pure, cold-pressed, premium grade". The ingredients panel lists Nigella sativa (black cumin seed oil), 100% pure, and nothing else.
The directions on the label say adults can take 1 teaspoon daily with food or water, and for skin and hair you can apply 2 to 3 drops directly and massage gently. For a fuller walkthrough, including mixing with honey and who should avoid it, read how to use black seed oil.
Black seed oil, habba sauda, kalonji: same thing?
Yes. In Nigeria, especially in the north, black seed is widely known as habbatus sauda or habba sauda, from the Arabic for "the black seed". You will also see black cumin and kalonji on imported bottles. They all refer to Nigella sativa.
What it is not:
- Niger seed (Guizotia abyssinica), a different plant. Price lists online sometimes mix the two up.
- Black sesame seed, a cooking seed with a different oil.
Before you pay, check that the label names Nigella sativa.

How to avoid fake or diluted black seed oil in Lagos
Black seed oil is one of the more commonly adulterated oils worldwide. The usual trick is cutting it with cheaper sunflower, soybean or corn oil. A few quick checks:
- Single ingredient: the label should list Nigella sativa oil only.
- "Cold-pressed" on the label: it means the oil was pressed without added heat or chemical solvents, the least processed way to make it.
- Taste and smell: real black seed oil is strongly peppery and slightly bitter, and many people feel a warm catch at the back of the throat. A bland, mild oil is a red flag.
- Sealed, dark packaging: avoid oil decanted into clear plastic bottles.
- A seller you can find again: a fixed shop or a traceable online store, not a one-off roadside sale.
Our guide on how to know original black seed oil goes through each check in detail.
Safety before you start
Black seed oil is a food oil in small amounts, but larger daily amounts are not right for everyone. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take diabetes or blood pressure medicine (it may lower both further), take blood thinners, have kidney or liver disease, or have surgery coming up. Stop and seek advice if you get a rash, stomach pain or dizziness. If you want to know what the research does and doesn't support, see our black seed oil benefits guide.
