A UK supermarket has caught on!

[Bublin]

Sainsburys are now selling Amla Oil, Amla Oil Plus, Vatika Oil and a range of neem products (oil, cream and soap).

I stood looking at the shelf in shock.

I bought some Navratna Plus Herbal Cool Oil. You can use it for hair scalp and massage.
Easily absorbed into the scalp, helps in improving blood circulation. It strengthens and invigorates the hair root giving extra protection against greying and premature hair loss.

Ingredients........
Sesame Oil - quick penetrating oil for massage; promotes growth of strong, dark hair.
Menthol - Tones and refreshes oily skin keeping the skin healthy; cools the scalp and helps minimise dandruff.
Amla - Natural source of vitamin C; keeps skin cool; helps promote strong and healthy hair.
Camphor - Soothes muscles; cools and conditions the scalp; helps minimise dandruff.
Thyme - Tones the skin; helps strengthen hair roots.
Rosemary Oil - Conditions the skin; helps promote hair growth.

I had an itchy scalp so I put it on my scalp and massaged. My scalp no longer itches and feels great.

Damn! Now I can see myself ditching Asda for Sainbury's .

 

[Ganjababy]

Thats great!

 

[Crissi]

Man i love that oil, it sets my scalp on fire! If its Asda thats no suprise...the big supermarkets are trying to expand to the point that they over take the smaller shops completely...

ETA: but it was Sainsburies lol wow...i didn't know they had it like that...

 

[Bublin]

^^^u mean it feels cool on your scalp? I didn't get that sensation at all - it just stopped the itching

Mmmm - i really love this oil. My hair feels great this morning and scalp feels clean.

If you guys want to check out what they have its in the Ethnic Food section! The store i went to was in Sydenham, South London.

The large Tesco in new malden sell those oils and powders too. I bought the Amla powder from there but ive never used it.

I don't live near any hair shops so for me it's great that more shops are finally starting to sell ethnic hair products.

That oil sounds good though!

 

[ChocolateCutee]

yep, those have been in Tesco for a little while now. I don't go into Sainsbury's so I wouldn't know that they were in there

 

[Bublin]

Wow OK - so i'm late in finding this out. Ive not seen them in a South London Asda or Tesco.

 

[Studio_gal]

Sainsbury's in Streatham also sells Vatika, Amla etc. They sell it in their ethnic foods section

erplexed Where the hell have i been? ha ha ha. Has anyone compared prices to BSS's? I just got all foolish and bought the stuff

 

[hotcoco]

Good news. Thanks. I can pass this info onto my family and stock up when I go home

 

[Guapa1]

I've seen them before. I'm not sure about the other oils, but the vatika oil is more expensive than in an Indian shop.




Now has any seen in Asda the Caribbean frozen food section?

I was so shocked I couldn't speak... Ackee and Saltfish with dumpling, stew chicken, rice and peas, a portion of plantain... Cassava! It's teef though, the little slices of plantain is £1.50 when you can buy 4 for a pound in the market.

HAHAHAHAHA i love the light text...

Nah man the supermarkets can't be doing that, there going to start selling mutton/goat, run down chicken and what not in their hot foods section...

 

[naturalgurl]

Bublin, this is too cute. I could see you just standing there like a deer in headlights!LOL! I could hear you talking fast and excited too as you typed this! I love amla, vatika and neelibhringadi. I could feel your excitement and I understand why!

You know! Asda is reasonable with their prices until you get to this section! I'd rather go to my local West Indian food shop or the market or something.
Likkle slices a plantain... one pound n' fifty pence... ya mad a wha' .
Back to the topic: I've never seen any Indian oils in the ethnic section though . Maybe next time I go to Asda I'll check it out... but that's not good for my PJ'ism.... Oh yeah, I'm in the BUY NOTHIN' FOR JUNE CHALLENGE .

It wouldn't surprise me, I forgot to add that they had curry mutton in the freezer too!

 

[Ebony Majesty]

Sometime last year I saw this in Sainsbury's in Ladbroke Grove... but everytime I go now, I never see it

 

[Bublin]

Guapa - i ain't gonna lie. The pic of the saltfish fritters look good to me right now.....ha ha ha.

Yes, that's what i must have looked like!

I forgot to write that when i was looking at the products a rasta woman walked by, stopped and looked at the stuff for a minute.

Wha?? I never know there was West Indian instant food?

Knowing me, I'll probally end up buying these as I am too lazy to cook.

As anyone tried these? Does it taste good?
