Pahadi Katha Badam Oil

In the hills of Upper Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, grows a small almond the locals call Katha badam. It's a native almond of the Himalayan hills, not the commercial almond found in shops, and it has long been valued in the mountains for being extremely good for the skin.

Our Pahadi almond oil is made only from Katha badam grown in the Upper Shimla hills: pure and natural, with nothing added. It's a true hill almond oil, from almonds that belong to these mountains.
