What ships in every bottle Habbat al-barakah · Nigella sativa Halal-certified facility OU Kosher facility Per-batch lab card Ethiopian Bale/Arsi seed
A spoon of black seed oil in soft morning light — the ceramic-spoon ritual moment.

The seed has been on Muslim kitchen shelves for fourteen centuries. habbat al-barakah, kalonji. habb is the version that prints the actual numbers on a card next to the bottle.

If you're shopping for halal black seed oil, you're shopping at a layer of attention most morning-shelf shoppers skip. You read labels. You ask about facilities. You want to know what's actually in the bottle — not just whether someone slapped a green stamp on it. This page is for that buyer.

habb is built on two layers of trust. The first is the certification: the production facility in California holds halal certification and OU Kosher certification, both at the facility level. The second is the batch card — every bottle ships with a card showing the lab numbers for the specific batch you received. Active-compound percentage. Fatty-acid profile. Origin. Oxidation values. The certification tells you the rules were followed. The card tells you what's in the oil.

What makes habb halal in three concrete ways.

i.

The facility is certified.

habb is bottled in a halal- and OU Kosher-certified facility in California. Both certifications are issued by external bodies and require documented separation protocols.

ii.

One ingredient. No animal-derived components.

The bottle contains cold-pressed Nigella sativa oil. That's it. No gelatin, no glycerin, no animal carriers, no capsule shells. Glass bottle, BPA-free cap, ceramic spoon.

iii.

The supply chain is plant-only.

Seeds come from a single farm cooperative in the Bale and Arsi highlands of Oromia, Ethiopia. Plant cultivation, seed transport, cold-pressing, bottling — there is no animal involvement at any step.

Why the lab card matters as much as the certification.

Halal certification verifies process. It confirms the ingredient list, the facility separation protocols, the absence of animal-derived components. It does not verify what's actually in the bottle. A certified facility can still produce a bottle that's been diluted with cheaper oils, oxidized in storage, or pressed from low-potency seed. Certification doesn't cover that.

habb's batch card does. Every bottle ships with the actual lab numbers for that specific batch — the active-compound percentage, the oil's fingerprint that proves it hasn't been cut with cheaper carriers, oxidation values. The lab method we use is the conservative one (it measures what's in the oil you swallow, not what evaporates in a lab). If the oil isn't what the label says, the card surfaces it. The full method comparison and per-batch lookup live on how it's made.

For a halal-conscious buyer, this is the second layer of trust the morning shelf usually doesn't offer.

Halal questions, answered.

Is habb black seed oil halal certified?
Yes. habb is bottled in a halal- and OU Kosher-certified facility in California. The certification is at the facility level, which is the layer that matters most for a single-ingredient plant oil.
Are there any animal-derived ingredients in habb?
No. habb is one ingredient: cold-pressed Nigella sativa oil. No gelatin. No glycerin. No animal-derived carriers, fillers, or capsule shells. The bottle is glass; the cap is BPA-free plastic; the ceramic spoon is, well, ceramic.
Where can I see the halal certification document?
The facility's halal and OU Kosher certificates are available on request — email hello@habb.co with the batch number on your bottle, and we'll send the corresponding documentation. The batch card that ships in every box also references the certifying body.
Are the seeds themselves halal?
Plants are halal by default — there is no slaughter or animal involvement in the cultivation of Nigella sativa seeds. habb sources its seeds from a single farm cooperative in the Bale and Arsi highlands of Oromia, Ethiopia. The supply chain is plant-only end to end.
Is the facility shared with non-halal products?
The California facility is halal- and OU Kosher-certified by external certifying bodies. Certification requires documented separation protocols for any non-certified production runs at the same facility. Your bottle is produced under those protocols.
Why does habb commit to lab numbers on top of certification?
Halal certification verifies that the ingredient list and facility meet dietary standards. The batch card is a separate transparency mechanism — it tells you what is actually in the oil for the specific batch you received, including the active-compound percentage, fatty-acid profile, and oxidation values. Two different kinds of trust, ideally both.
