Banyan Botanicals Organic Unrefined Sesame Oil 34 oz — Cold‑Pressed Ayurvedic Massage & Scalp Oil for Warming Skin Nourishment

Banyan Botanicals Organic Unrefined Sesame Oil is a cold-pressed, USDA Organic 34 oz oil formulated for traditional Ayurvedic self-massage (Abhyanga), scalp treatment, and deep skin nourishment.

Harvested from fully ripened sesame seeds and pressed without heat or chemicals, this unrefined sesame oil preserves the natural aroma, fat-soluble nutrients, and warming character valued in classical Ayurvedic practice. Packaged in a generous 34 oz size, it is designed for regular at-home massage, post-activity recovery routines, and weekly scalp treatments. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO, and B-Corp certified under the Banyan guarantee, the oil prioritizes purity and sustainability.

How does this sesame oil support a daily massage ritual?

This oil is oriented toward traditional Abhyanga—daily, full-body self-massage used in Ayurveda to help maintain skin hydration and provide a sensory grounding routine. Its unrefined, cold-pressed nature keeps fatty acids and antioxidants intact, allowing the oil to coat and glide over skin while being absorbed gradually. Regular use can make massages smoother and more ritualized, offering a tactile way to slow down and care for skin.

• Cold-pressed from ripe seeds to retain natural compounds and fragrance
• Unrefined texture designed for both glide and gradual absorption
• Large 34 oz bottle for consistent daily or weekly use
• Traditional Abhyanga-friendly viscosity for full-body application

Is this product suitable for soothing sore muscles or warming tight areas?

The oil’s warming sensory profile and light but penetrating texture make it suitable as a massage medium for post-activity care and areas that feel tense. While not a medical treatment, its heat-retaining feel and ability to help hands move evenly over tissue make it a practical choice for integrated recovery routines. Pair it with targeted massage techniques for more focused relief work.

• Natural warming sensation appreciated in traditional massage
• Light enough to penetrate toward deeper tissues during massage
• Useful as a carrier for topical aromatic blends when desired
• Works well for joints and large muscle groups in massage sequences

Can I use this on my scalp and hair, and how should I apply it?

Yes—this organic sesame oil is commonly used in Ayurvedic scalp treatments to condition hair and the scalp. Warm a small amount between your palms and massage directly into the scalp, working outward to ends if desired. For deeper conditioning, leave on for 30 minutes or overnight and shampoo out; for routine use, apply sparingly to roots and tips as a finishing oil.

• Warm slightly before application for easier spread and light penetration
• Massage into scalp to support detangling and surface conditioning
• Overnight pre-wash treatment for enhanced softness and manageability
• Use a few drops as a hair serum to tame flyaways and add sheen

What evidence of quality and sustainability does this bottle carry?

The company also offers a satisfaction guarantee for customers who find the oil does not meet their expectations.

Who is this for: This 34 oz bottle is aimed at people who practice Ayurvedic self-care, bodyworkers and massage therapists seeking an authentic unrefined base oil, and anyone wanting a clean, sustainably sourced oil for scalp treatments or regular whole-body moisturizing. It’s a practical choice for those who prefer traditional herbal wellness tools, larger-format value, and certified organic sourcing rather than highly refined or scented massage oils.
