About the Bundle

Not every part of the body, or every season, calls for the same oil. The Jojoba & Black Sesame Oil Duo pairs Vitality Now's two most versatile single-ingredient carrier oils, one light and neutral, one warm and nourishing, so you always have the right oil on hand.

Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia chinensis) is technically a liquid wax ester rather than a true oil, a molecular structure that closely resembles the skin's own natural sebum. This unique chemistry gives it exceptional versatility, stability, and compatibility with virtually every skin type. In Ayurveda, Jojoba is classified as Tridoshic, suitable for and beneficial to all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), making it Vitality Now's premier lightweight carrier for the face, body, and as a base for essential oil blends.

Organic Black Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum) is, in the classical Ayurvedic scholar Charaka's own words, "the best of all oils." It is traditionally considered one of Ayurveda's most widely used oils for daily body care, the foundational oil of Abhyanga (Ayurvedic self-massage), warm, heavy, and unctuous, traditionally described as the opposite of Vata's cold, light, dry qualities, and particularly valued for Vata and Kapha constitutions.

Together, this duo covers the full spectrum of daily oiling: Jojoba for the face and lighter daily use, Black Sesame for warming full-body massage, scalp care, and traditional practices. Both are 100% pure, cold-pressed, certified organic, with no additives, preservatives, fragrances, or artificial ingredients.

Benefits

For the Skin

  • Deeply moisturises and nourishes all skin types, Jojoba's sebum-like wax ester structure is absorbed completely into the skin without leaving any greasy residue or clogging pores
  • Traditionally used to deeply nourish dry, fine, and delicate skin, Black Sesame Oil's rich fatty acid profile is traditionally valued for penetrating nourishment
  • Supports naturally radiant, healthy-looking skin, both oils are naturally rich in Vitamin E, phytosterols, and antioxidant compounds
  • Non-comedogenic, Jojoba carries a comedogenic rating of 0–2 and Black Sesame Oil 1–3, suitable for most skin types including naturally oily and combination skin
  • Naturally warming to cold or dry skin, Black Sesame Oil's unctuous quality is traditionally valued for supporting the skin's natural moisture barrier

For Hair & Scalp

  • Deeply conditions and nourishes hair from root to tip, Jojoba's wax ester structure penetrates the hair shaft, restoring natural moisture, shine, and resilience
  • Traditionally used to nourish the scalp through regular massage, a classical Ayurvedic practice known as Shiro Abhyanga with Black Sesame Oil
  • Supports naturally strong, healthy-looking hair, zinc and copper in Jojoba are traditionally valued for scalp wellness, while Black Sesame's oleic and linoleic acids support hair strength and shine

Natural Warmth & Comfortable Circulation

  • Traditionally used to support natural circulation and a comfortable feeling through warm oil massage with Black Sesame Oil
  • Traditionally used to support comfortable muscle ease and joint movement through warm oil massage, a foundational Ayurvedic Abhyanga practice
  • Traditionally used to support a feeling of natural calm and groundedness, the warm, heavy, unctuous nature of sesame oil is traditionally considered opposite to Vata's cold, dry qualities

As an Ayurvedic Carrier & Essential Oil Base

  • The perfect carrier for all Ayurvedic essential oil blends, Jojoba's neutral, very subtle aroma allows the natural scent of essential oils to shine through completely unaltered
  • Exceptionally stable carrier, Jojoba's wax ester structure will not go rancid or oxidise quickly, extending the shelf life of any essential oil blend prepared in it
  • Tridoshic, Jojoba is suitable as a carrier for Vata, Pitta, and Kapha essential oil blends without adding any dosha-aggravating qualities of its own
  • Black Sesame Oil is the traditional Ayurvedic carrier for Vata-pacifying massage oils, its own warming, nourishing nature amplifies a Vata blend's grounding aromatic action

Versatile, Everyday Use

  • One bundle covers facial skincare, body oiling, hair conditioning, scalp massage, and Ayurvedic essential oil blending, everything in two bottles
  • Black Sesame Oil also extends to traditional oil pulling (Gandusha) and culinary use, roles Jojoba isn't suited to
  • Suitable for all skin types and constitutions, choose Jojoba for lighter daily use or Black Sesame for warming, deeply nourishing application

Directions for Use

Organic Jojoba Oil

As a daily facial moisturiser:

Apply 3–5 drops directly to clean, slightly damp skin morning and evening. Warm between your fingertips and press gently into the face, neck, and décolletage.

As a body oil:

Apply liberally to the body after bathing while skin is still slightly damp for maximum absorption.

As a hair & scalp treatment:

Warm a small amount between your palms and massage into the scalp, or apply through mid-lengths and ends to restore shine and smooth frizz.

As a makeup remover:

Massage a small amount onto dry skin to dissolve makeup and impurities, then remove with a warm damp cloth.

Organic Black Sesame Oil

Full Abhyanga self-massage (primary use):

Warm the oil in a bowl of hot water for 5–10 minutes. Apply generously over the entire body beginning at the crown, using long strokes on the limbs and circular strokes on the joints and abdomen. Leave on 10–40 minutes, then remove with exfoliating gloves and warm water. Finish with a light application of Jojoba Oil to lock in moisture.

Scalp & hair massage:

Warm 1–2 tablespoons and massage into the scalp using circular fingertip pressure. Leave on a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight, then wash out with natural shampoo.

Traditional oil pulling (Gandusha):

Swish 1 tablespoon of warm sesame oil in the mouth first thing in the morning, before eating or drinking. Continue until the oil naturally becomes thin or your mouth fills with saliva, then spit it out. Rinse with warm water and brush teeth as normal.

Culinary use:

Suitable as a flavouring and finishing oil, salad dressings, drizzled over rice, soups, or noodles. Avoid high-heat cooking; keep below medium heat.

Frequency:

Traditionally used daily for Vata constitutions or during Vata seasons (autumn and winter). 3–4 times per week is a common ongoing routine.

Safety: For external use only, except where culinary use of Black Sesame Oil is specified. Perform a patch test before full use of either oil. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If skin concerns persist, it's worth checking in with a skincare professional you trust, and if scalp or joint concerns persist, it's best to check with your doctor. Never microwave or heat oils over direct high heat when warming for Abhyanga.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Jojoba & Black Sesame Oil Duo? +

The bundle includes Organic Jojoba Oil (200ml or 500ml) and Organic Black Sesame Oil (200ml or 500ml), two of Vitality Now's most versatile pure carrier oils.

What's the difference between Jojoba Oil and Black Sesame Oil, and when should I use each? +

Sesame Oil is warming, heavy, and deeply nourishing, ideal for Vata types, winter Abhyanga, and full-body massage. Jojoba Oil is lighter, Tridoshic, and balancing, better for Pitta and Kapha types, sensitive skin, and facial use. Many people use both, Jojoba for the face and everyday moisture, Black Sesame for weekly Abhyanga and scalp care.

Can I use Black Sesame Oil on my face? +

Black Sesame Oil can be used on the body and, in smaller amounts, on the face for those who prefer a heavier, more warming oil. Many people find Jojoba Oil's lighter, non-comedogenic character better suited to daily facial use, particularly for oily or combination skin, while reserving Black Sesame Oil for the body and scalp.

Can I use these oils as a carrier for Vitality Now's essential oil blends? +

Yes. Jojoba Oil is the recommended carrier for refilling the Vata Roller and for lighter massage or Spiritual Beauty/Focus Oil preparations. Black Sesame Oil is the traditional Ayurvedic carrier for Vata-pacifying massage oils, particularly during autumn and winter. For any essential oil blend, add 50–125 drops per 100ml of carrier oil for a standard 2–5% massage dilution (some blends specify up to 75–125 drops per 100ml for a 3–5% dilution, check the specific blend's directions).

Are these oils cold-pressed and unrefined? +

Yes, both Vitality Now's Jojoba and Black Sesame Oils are certified organic and cold-pressed without heat or chemicals, preserving their full natural nutrient profiles. Refined oils lose many of these compounds during processing.

Is this duo suitable for all skin types and Ayurvedic constitutions? +

Yes. Jojoba Oil is classified Tridoshic in Ayurveda, suitable for all three doshas and skin types including oily and combination skin. Black Sesame Oil is particularly beneficial for Vata and Kapha types due to its warming, nourishing qualities, and can be used by Pitta types in moderation, particularly externally.
