Lettuce Oil Wholesale: Zeit El Khass for Retail
Lettuce oil wholesale — zeit el khass in Arabic — is a cold-pressed cosmetic oil with real household demand across the Egyptian and Levantine diaspora, sold and described in traditional, cosmetic language only. Levant Direct sources Lettuce Oil from El Captain (Cap Pharm) of Cairo, part of a 73-oil range quoted by the case on a written quotation.
This guide covers the zeit el khass tradition, a related pre-blended option in our personal-care range, format and ordering, and why we hold a strict claims-free line on this category.
Zeit el khass: a household name for a household product
Lettuce oil is widely known by its Arabic name, zeit el khass, in the households that use it — a traditional dressing-table oil worked through the hair as part of an inherited beauty routine rather than a modern formulated product. It's a real, well-known name in the diaspora market, and third-party resellers already list the exact bottle we import on general marketplaces; sourcing it directly from the importer is the difference between buying it once, marked up through several hands, and quoting it by the case at trade terms.
As with the rest of this family of oils, we describe zeit el khass by its tradition and origin, never by a promised effect on hair.
A pre-blended option in the same range
Buyers who want lettuce oil already blended for a finished hair-oil product have that option too: Herolin Star Hair Oil — Lettuce & Olive combines it with olive oil in a single retail-ready bottle. The two products serve different shelves — plain lettuce oil for a beauty-supply or dressing-table section, the blended Herolin bottle for a broader hair-care retail line — and a store can reasonably carry both.
It also sits naturally alongside parsley oil and lupine oil in the same traditional dressing-table family, and salons building a custom blend bar around single-ingredient oils sometimes add it to the same order as a pre-mixed Herolin line. A retailer stocking all three plain oils alongside the finished Herolin bottle covers most of what a customer shopping this category is likely to ask for by name.
Who buys lettuce oil
Beauty-supply and grocery retailers serving Egyptian and wider Levantine diaspora communities are the core market, stocking it as a name customers already recognize and seek out rather than one that needs explaining. Because third-party resellers already carry this exact product on general online marketplaces, a Canadian retailer sourcing it directly from us at trade terms is competing on freshness of stock and service rather than introducing an unfamiliar item.
Format and ordering
Lettuce oil is quoted and cased the same way as the rest of our natural oils range — no fixed bottle size published online, since format is confirmed against your volume on the written quotation. It's a strong candidate for a first order alongside its Herolin-blended counterpart and the other traditional dressing-table oils, consolidating the quotation into one list.
Why we hold a strict claims-free line here
Consumer search results for lettuce-oil terms are dense with hair-growth and fertility-adjacent claims from other sellers. We make none of them. Cosmetics sold in Canada fall under Health Canada's Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations, and a claim that a product grows hair or affects fertility moves it into Natural Health Product territory with its own separate federal licensing. This is general guidance, not legal advice — confirm any wording with Health Canada before it appears on a label.
'Lettuce oil (zeit el khass), a traditional dressing-table oil in Egyptian and Levantine hair care' is accurate and needs no promise attached to sell.
