Part of the reason kohl is used to close to the eye is not just for beauty but it natural kohl is antiseptic qualities and stops flys deposit eggs in yours at night. Which is why you see children and men wore it historically. Medical paper conforms the benefits : “The Efficacy of Kohl (Surma) and Erythromycin in Treatment of Blepharitis: An Open-Label Clinical Trial” In Persian medicine, blepharitis has been explained in eyelid diseases section. One of the most common treatments of eyelid diseases in Persian medicine texts is using kohl. Kohl, called surma in Persian, is a mineral substance with cold and dry nature. According to Persian medicine, it has several benefits. Traditional healers have paid special attention to the treatment of eye diseases, for example, applying kohl on the eyelid can prevent cataracts and eye ulcers. According to Persian medicine, kohl is an eye tonic and preserves eye health.

Also In Iran. Let me tell you how to make it and in Persian it's called SOORME. Put an almond/hazelnut/walnut on a metal stick and lit it. Let the fire subside. Bring a steel plate and put two or three cubes of ice on it. When the fire is fading you can see only smoke now that's the right time to put the smoking nut under the plate. The smoke hits the plate and you can see black residue. Do it with 4 or 5 nuts then scrape the black stuff with a blade and add one or two drops of whatever oil you want. Do your inner eyeliner or brows with it cause it improves your lashes and it's completely natural. For outer eye lines it doesn't stick around for a long time. Oh apply it with the right applicator if you don't have any use a match but be very careful.

What do you mean by "organically?" Do you mean when its made from ground galena (aka "Kohl Stone")? "Kohl stone" is literally lead sulfide and is a common source of lead exposure. It's an even bigger problem when people apply it to their infants or small children who are more susceptible to lead toxicity and the neurological effects of lead based compounds. Lead bioaccumulates. Chelation therapy is the only way to get rid of it. Even products made from antimony or carbon have been shown to be up to 30% lead. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it protects your eyes from the sun. All it does is reduce glare, which is not the same thing as absorbing the sun's UV rays. A pair of sunglasses or a hat with a bill on the front are more effective at reducing UV exposure. The other claim is that it has antimicrobial properties and prevents/cures certain common eye infections. The perceived benifit of helping to reduce eye infection is because it triggers over production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide plays a role in many cell functions and triggers an immune response. However, overproduction of NO disrupts cell metabolism, damages cell DNA, reacts with O2 to form damaging free radicals, and ultimately causes cell death. So while it's killing bacteria, it's also killing and damaging healthy cells. (Note: I'm talking about products that are produced outside North America and Europe where the traditional ingredients in Kohl, Surma, Kajal, tiro, etc are banned.)

To the concern of lead being dangerous, yes it is. Apperantly from the research i have done lead sulfieds were first used in sormeh/khol when it was first introduced to the west and then replaced with organic charcoal upon discovering the dangers of lead. When middle easterns speak of sormeh/khol's benefits we speak of the original version which was made of burned nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazlenut and so on) these nuts would be burned in seasame oil and then grinded and applied to the eye by bone or wooden applicators. The soot that the burning oil gave to the nuts made an extremely dark cosmetic substance.

​@@Balingydude ofc in this age "natural is limited" but people call it beneficial coz it actually was when it was made of all natural substances. There was a reason it was culturally practiced in the middle east. Nowadays, products are ofc very mixed up with harmful substances.

It looks amazing on u

In India they use this to protect their eyes from dirt or dust getting into the eyes. They use Kajal. Black real eyeliner

In India, most of us swatch the coal onto a finger and use it to apply it to our eyes And if excess coal left on the finger , we rub it on our hair It keeps eyes cool and protect them In our state we call it , katika ❤

Where did you get it from, brand name or any info? I use the normal kajal would love to try this though

Traditionally this was made with lead in it. If you're getting products in the US and the UK they should be lead free, but if you are getting an import you might want to Get a lead tester for it

@hotwaterisspicy

25 күн бұрын

Yes! This! Lead is often present in the form of lead sulfide and can make up more than half of a kajal product's weight (some have been found with over 70% lead and have been documented to cause permanent learning deficits in children & adults). Kajal that is purchased outside of the United States and Europe is more likely to contain lead, and the lead can be absorbed through the skin and eyes. Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can damage the brain and make it difficult for children to learn, pay attention, and behave. The CDC has determined that no amount of lead is safe for humans.

Not made traditionally with lead you crazy lady. It's pure cotton burnt then mixed with beeswax. If purchased in Arab or India countries it's just those ingredients

Way better than regular eye liner, it’s a must have.

Nah cause why does it look AMAZING on you?!

Just keep in mind that in spite of how lovely it looks & contrasts with coloured eyes & makes them stand out, it does also make the eye look smaller. So, if you have eyes that are on the smaller side or just want your eyes to look larger gives this a pass. You can see the difference on this women's gorgeous coloured massive & long lashed eyes. Once it's on, the eye with the kohl looks smaller. NOT uglier, or worse or _anything_ other than smaller in comparison.

You can make this easily yourself, there are many authentic Indian tutorials & it's quite simple. Edit, it's the only colour, because it's literally Charcoal. Edited because I originally put "Coal" instead of "Charcoal" but this is not correct.
