Anointing oils were used during Biblical times and in the Holy Temple to purify the sanctuary and make it holy, and were poured on the heads of Kohanim (Priests) and the Kohen Gadol (High Priest). While no longer used in a Temple context, anointing oils are still made today in the Land of Israel, featuring some of the same ingredients as in ancient times and often used for cosmetic and healing purposes.

Our store carries a wide selection of anointing oils, all made by Israeli companies using only the purest local ingredients. Their base is all-natural Israeli olive oil - made from olives harvested from the Judean hills and rich in vitamins A and K, with powerful antioxidants and soothing, moisturizing properties - which is then infused with the essences of flowers, herbs, and fragrances that date back to Biblical times and have their own special healing qualities.

Read on to learn about our most popular oils and their unique formulations and aromas. Use any one of them as a massage oil, perfume, aromatherapy fragrance, or moisturizer, and indulge yourself in the best natural ingredients the Land of Israel has to offer - all while connecting to an ancient Biblical tradition!
