AYURVEDIC COCONUT HAIR OIL
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil, a classical hair oil of Ayurveda, built on Chemparuthi (hibiscus) in a coconut oil base.
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil is a classical Ayurvedic hair oil, its name drawing from Chemparuthi, the hibiscus flower that leads the formula. Art of Vedas prepares it in the classical form: hibiscus and a group of classical herbs cooked into a coconut oil base by the classical Sneha Paka method, made as a light hair and scalp oil. This page sets out what the oil is, the classical tradition it belongs to, and the heavy-metal and microbiological test results recorded for every batch.
What Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil is
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil is a classical Ayurvedic herbal oil, prepared by Art of Vedas as a light hair and scalp oil. It is anhydrous, meaning it contains no added water: a coconut oil base carrying the extracts of hibiscus and a group of classical herbs, so no preservative is needed. It is made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice, following ISO 22716 principles, and is not tested on animals. It carries a period after opening of 12 months and is offered in a 200 ml size.
The formula is entirely plant-based, prepared in a coconut oil and coconut milk base, so the oil is vegan. It carries hibiscus, holy basil, betel leaf, indigo and other classical herbs; any fragrance-allergen constituents present above the labelling threshold are shown in the ordered ingredient list below.
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil in classical Ayurveda
Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil takes its name from Chemparuthi, the hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) that leads the formula, joined here with a group of classical herbs in a coconut oil base. It belongs to the classical hair oils recorded in the Ayurvedic literature, in the tradition of the Arogyakalpadrumam.
It is prepared by the classical Sneha Paka method, in which the herbs are cooked slowly into a coconut oil base until only the oil and its herbal actives remain. In the tradition it is applied to the hair and scalp as a light, cooling oil, worked in gently and left to absorb.
Art of Vedas presents its preparation of Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil within that classical frame, describing the practice rather than any outcome, and tests it with every batch.
Quality and testing
Tested with every batch
Every production batch of Chemparutyadi Coconut Oil is tested before it is released for sale. Two things are checked: heavy metals, by a laboratory method called ICP-MS, and microbiological safety, against the international standard ISO 17516:2014. The figures below are representative results; every batch is retested before release.
Heavy metals
Five heavy metals were tested by ICP-MS. Each one was within the permitted limit for products left on the skin. The right-hand column shows the maximum level allowed under German BfR guidance, so you can see the limit each result sits within.
| Metal | Result | Permitted maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Lead (Pb) | Within the permitted limit | max 2 mg/kg |
| Cadmium (Cd) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.1 mg/kg |
| Mercury (Hg) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.1 mg/kg |
| Arsenic (As) | Within the permitted limit | max 0.5 mg/kg |
| Nickel (Ni) | Within the permitted limit | max 5 mg/kg |
ICP-MS stands for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, a standard laboratory method for detecting metals. The limits shown are the German BfR guidance values for products left on the skin, in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).
Microbiological safety
Microbiological safety is tested against ISO 17516:2014. The overall counts of microbes stay within the limits set for products left on the skin, and the specific organisms that must not be present were each absent.
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Total Aerobic Microbial Count | Within the EU limit |
| Total Yeast and Mould Count | Within the EU limit |
| Escherichia coli (E. coli) | Absent (not found) |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | Absent (not found) |
| Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) | Absent (not found) |
| Candida albicans | Absent (not found) |
ISO 17516:2014 sets the microbiological limits; the thresholds for products left on the skin apply to this oil.
