Does anyone else buy their products straight from India? I try and stay away from the Dabur and Parachute brands.

You're right to stay away from Dabur they use mineral oil and usually a cheap pressing of the so called natural oil like sesame. Parachute is not as bad but they use preservatives I'm not comfortable with sometimes coconut they use fractionated coconut oil. I used to get a really good Ayurvedic oil but it had some preservative in it that gave me headaches, so I for a long while now I just make my own, it's hard to find all natural oil blends.

You don't have to buy from India I've been scammed by some of them with poor quality fake oil, as in the oil was just some cheap mazola type vegetable oil not steeped with Ayurvedic herbs. I know my herbs you can't fool me easily.
