Namaste, dear ones! Eyes are often considered the windows to another world, a precious gift from the Almighty. Today, we'll explore a product closely connected to our precious eyes: Kajal (kohl).
The term "kohl" likely comes from the Arabic word "kuhl," while "kajal" finds its roots in the Sanskrit word "kajjala." These words refer to the traditional eye cosmetic that darkens and enhances the eyes, with variations in different cultures.
Kajal has a long and illustrious history spanning thousands of years. Egyptian men and women used kohl not only for cosmetic purposes but also to shield their eyes from the harsh sun and desert conditions. Kohl was also popular in regions like India, the Arabian Peninsula, Persia (Iran), South Asia, and Mesopotamia (Iraq), serving both cosmetic enhancement and eye protection purposes.
Even today, Kajal is not merely a cosmetic; it's considered an essential. However, many commercial Kajal products contain potentially harmful chemicals such as lead, antimony, and limestone. For eye health, homemade Kajal made from almond oil stands as a safer alternative. Almond-based Kajal offers several potential benefits:
🌼Natural and Nourishing: Almond oil, rich in vitamins, especially vitamin E, moisturizes and nurtures the delicate skin around the eyes, particularly beneficial in dry or cold climates.
🌼Gentle on the Eyes: Almond-based Kajal is gentle, less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions, making it suitable for those with sensitive eyes or skin.
🌼Darkening Effect: Almond oil naturally darkens lashes and eye outlines, giving a classic kohl makeup look without synthetic or harmful ingredients.
🌼Potential for Eyelash Health: Almond oil may promote eyelash health by moisturizing and conditioning them.
When choosing almond-based Kajal, opt for reputable brands and ensure they are free from additives or harmful ingredients. As with any cosmetic product, if you experience irritation or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist or ophthalmologist if necessary.
