TRADITIONAL AYURVEDIC OIL
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam, a traditional Ayurvedic oil for daily massage, with coconut oil, turmeric, Nalpamara barks and supporting herbs.
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam is a traditional Ayurvedic oil for daily massage. Art of Vedas keeps the public ingredient list aligned to the current AOV label: a coconut-oil base carrying turmeric, the Nalpamara bark group and supporting herbs. 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 Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam is
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal oil, prepared by Art of Vedas as an oil for daily external massage. It is anhydrous, meaning it contains no added water: an oil base carrying a classical blend of herbs, with no preservative needed. It is made in India under Good Manufacturing Practice following ISO 22716 principles, and not tested on animals.
It is built around coconut oil, turmeric, the Nalpamara group of Ficus barks, Triphala fruits, vetiver and madder. The complete ordered ingredient list below follows the current AOV product label.
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam in classical Ayurveda
Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam belongs to the classical Ayurvedic oil tradition. The name points to the Nalpamara group, four Ficus barks used in classical preparations.
In the tradition, oils of this kind are applied externally with gentle massage and then washed off or left for a short time according to the label directions.
Art of Vedas presents the oil within that classical frame, describing the massage ritual rather than any medical or complexion-altering outcome. It is offered as Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam, with the ingredient list aligned to the current AOV product label and tested with every batch.
Quality and testing
Tested with every batch
Every production batch of Nalpamaradi Kera Thailam 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 used 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, in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg). This formula is made only from plant ingredients, with no mineral or metallic ingredients.
Microbiological safety
Microbiological safety is tested against ISO 17516:2014. The overall counts of microbes stay within the limits, 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 for cosmetic products.
