One of the key proprietary mixes in our NEW Tela Magic is the Tela Certified Organic Seed Oils! Chief among them our NEW Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil. How to pronounce? Pone-gam-ee-ah Glah-bra Seed Oil!
Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil is derived from the seeds of the Millettia Pinnata tree, native to South and Southeast Asia. This is a cold pressed non-fragrant plant oil. Cold-pressed is a manufacturing process that allows the ingredient to retain all its nutrition value during manufacturing. This is not required but insisted upon by Philip as it increases the potency and effectiveness of this hydrating marvel.

Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil contains 9 fatty acids (Palmitic, Stearic, Oleic, Linoleic, Linolenic, Arachidic, Eicosenoic, Behenic and Lignoceric) which benefit the hair and scalp by nourishing and moisturizing. These also help as antiaging, slip, and heat protection agents.
Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil also has natural antimicrobial, soothing, and antioxidant benefits thus helping to protect hair’s strength and hair color from fading. Shine and some UV filtration properties benefit as well. Plus, it’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine to calm and heal skin issues, so this also helps the scalp as well. Ok, one more time, all together now…Pone-gam-ee-ah glah-bra Seed Oil!
