Formulation Features
Oil-Phase Ingredient
Oil-soluble and miscible with other vegetable and carrier oils, so it drops straight into the lipid phase of a capsule fill, an anhydrous serum or an emulsion without reformulating the water phase.
Active Load at 2% TQ
A higher thymoquinone load per kilogram means less oil weight is needed to reach the level a formulation calls for — useful when fill volume or pack size is fixed.
Unrefined, Single Ingredient
Cold pressed and left undiluted, with nothing added. The label declaration stays short — one botanical name and no processing aids to explain.
Predictable Lot to Lot
Because the thymoquinone figure is assayed rather than assumed, consecutive lots behave the same way in a formula instead of drifting with the crop.
Applications
Softgel Capsule Fill
Used as the fill oil where the capsule contains a single seed oil, at up to 100% of the fill.
Liquid Supplements & Blends
Blended with other carrier oils in dropper and shot formats, typically at 20–50% of an oil blend.
Facial & Body Oil Systems
Formulated into topical oil products at around 5–20%, either standalone or alongside lighter carrier oils.
Hair & Scalp Blends
Used in hair oil and scalp care blends at 10–30%, where the oil phase carries the product.
Personal Care & Functional Food
Added to soap, lotion, cream and shampoo bases, and blended into functional food and nutritional formulations at 1–5%.
