Quality Assurance
At Sidr & Stone, quality isn't negotiable. Our Black Seed Oil undergoes rigorous third-party testing to verify purity, potency, and authenticity — because you deserve to know exactly what you're putting in your body.
🔬 Independent Lab Testing
We partner with Analytice, an ISO 9001 certified laboratory in France, to independently verify our oil's thymoquinone (TQ) content — the key active compound responsible for black seed oil's therapeutic properties.
Our latest test results confirm:
- 2.67% Thymoquinone concentration — among the highest available globally
- 100% pure — no fillers, additives, or synthetic compounds
- Cold-pressed — nutrients and bioactive compounds fully preserved
Testing Methodology
Our oil is analysed using HPLC-UV (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Ultraviolet Detection) — a gold-standard analytical technique that precisely measures thymoquinone levels with ±5% accuracy.

🌍 Why Ethiopian Seeds?
Not all black seed oil is created equal. We source exclusively from Ethiopia, where the climate and soil produce Nigella sativa seeds with naturally elevated thymoquinone levels — often 2-3x higher than seeds from other regions.
Ethiopian black seeds are:
- Grown in high-altitude regions with optimal growing conditions
- Hand-selected for size, color, and oil content
- Cold-pressed within weeks of harvest to preserve freshness
❄️ Cold-Pressed & Chemical-Free
Our oil is extracted using traditional cold-pressing methods — no heat, no chemical solvents, no shortcuts. This preserves:
- Essential fatty acids (Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9)
- Volatile oils and aromatics
- Naturally occurring vitamins and minerals
The result? Oil that looks, smells, and tastes as nature intended.
🏺 Protected for Freshness
Black seed oil is sensitive to light and air, which can degrade its active compounds. That's why we package our oil in:
- UV-protected matte black glass bottles to block damaging light
- Airtight seals to prevent oxidation
- Premium glass for maximum preservation
Store your bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and it will maintain peak potency for 12-18 months after opening.
