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.
