What sizes does El Captain black seed oil come in?
El Captain's black seed oil, labeled Black Seed Oil (Habet El Baraka) — 'Recovery Way', is a single Nigella sativa oil sold in three case formats: 60 ml (96 to a case), 120 ml (48 to a case) and 250 ml (24 to a case). Levant Direct is the importer of this line into Canada, quoted by inquiry alongside the rest of the El Captain catalogue.
El Captain's own packaging and marketing out of Cairo lean into wellness language for this oil, as many black seed brands do. We don't repeat those claims here — our copy sticks to what the product is, its formats, and how it's traditionally used, because health claims about a food and cosmetic ingredient carry specific regulatory requirements in Canada that a general product description doesn't meet.
That distinction matters for any retailer reselling the line, too: what a source brand's own packaging says overseas and what can be claimed on a Canadian shelf or website are two different regulatory questions, and the second one is the one that governs your own marketing.
The three formats, and who buys which
The 60 ml case of 96 suits retailers testing the category or filling a shelf with a small-footprint bottle at an accessible unit count. The 120 ml case of 48 is the middle format, and the 250 ml case of 24 suits buyers who move higher volume per bottle — bulk personal-care retailers, or households and small clinics that reorder the same size repeatedly. All three carry the same oil under the 'Recovery Way' name; the difference is entirely bottle size and case count, not formulation.
Because the three sizes ship from the same production run, a first order can mix formats in one inquiry — a few cases of 60 ml to test sell-through alongside a heavier commitment to 250 ml, for instance — without complicating the quotation.
A grocer with a mixed customer base sometimes finds the smallest size sells fastest as an impulse or trial purchase, while a personal-care specialist or an existing black-seed-oil customer base gravitates to the 250 ml case as a standing reorder. Neither pattern is guaranteed, which is why starting with a mixed first order and letting sell-through guide the next one tends to work better than committing heavily to a single size upfront.
What the name means, and what it doesn't promise
Habet el baraka — "seed of blessing" — is simply the Arabic name Nigella sativa oil is sold under across the region; "Recovery Way" is El Captain's own product-line name, not a claim we're making about the oil. It's pressed from the same small black seed used whole as a spice, which Levant Direct also carries as whole black seed from AbdulRahim Mills — a kitchen shelf and a natural-oils shelf can stock both from the same catalogue.
For general background on the oil itself — what it's pressed from, how it's traditionally used, and why health claims about it sit under separate Canadian regulation — see what is black seed oil. That page covers the Natural Health Products framework in more depth; this one is specifically about El Captain's line and its three case sizes.
Ordering the El Captain line
Black seed oil is one of dozens of pressed seed and herb oils El Captain produces, and a wholesale inquiry can carry it alongside sesame, castor, argan or any of the other single-origin oils in the range in one combined request — see how inquiry ordering works for the mechanics and typical turnaround. Black seed oil quality checks is worth a read before the first order if you're new to judging the category, since it covers what to look for regardless of brand.
If you're weighing this specific El Captain line against black seed oil from another producer, black seed oil wholesale in Canada covers the broader sourcing picture — formats, grading language, and what typically separates one house's oil from another's on paper.
Related questions
Is 'Recovery Way' a different formulation from other black seed oils?
No — it's El Captain's own product-line name for its Habet El Baraka (black seed) oil. The oil itself is pressed Nigella sativa seed oil, the same base product other houses sell under different branding.
Can I mix the three sizes in one order?
Yes. All three case formats — 60 ml, 120 ml and 250 ml — come from the same product line and can be combined in a single inquiry.
Do you make health claims about this oil?
No. Our own marketing describes what the product is and how it's traditionally used, not what it treats or cures. Health claims on a black seed product in Canada generally require a Natural Product Number from Health Canada, regardless of what a source brand's own packaging says.
Can I also buy the whole black seed as a spice from the same supplier line?
The whole seed comes from a different supplier house, AbdulRahim Mills, but both can be requested in the same inquiry if you're stocking both formats.
