Hamdard Roghan Badam Shirin (Sweet Almond Oil) Review

Our review

Hamdard Roghan Badam Shirin is a sweet almond oil from Hamdard Laboratories, a well-known Unani and herbal brand in India. Product pages describe it as 100% pure sweet almond oil with no artificial additives or preservatives.

What it is

Roghan badam shirin has been used in many Indian homes for generations. It is a light, pale oil that is sold in small bottles of different sizes.

How it is commonly used

• Massage oil: for the body, and for babies by many families after asking a paediatrician.
• Skin: as a simple moisturiser or a gentle make-up remover.
• Hair and scalp: a few drops massaged into the scalp, or mixed with other oils.

Read the label first

Different retailer pages describe this oil as topical, and some also mention taking small amounts by mouth. This is confusing, so please read the directions printed on your own pack and do not swallow any oil unless the label says so and a doctor has advised it. We do not make health claims about memory, immunity, bones or digestion.

Safety

Almond oil is not suitable if you have an almond or nut allergy. Do a patch test first. If you plan to use it on a baby, please ask your paediatrician first. Overuse on the scalp can leave it greasy or itchy.

Our take

A familiar, simple and affordable almond oil from a trusted traditional brand, best used as a light massage and skin oil. Please check the pack size, the latest price and customer reviews on Amazon before you buy.
