Is it possible not to wash off antimony from the eyes?

Antimony (kohl) is a very fine powder of special grades of coal, which is applied with a special stick to the inside and outside of the eyelid. This is the oldest makeup product, popular in the East to this day. The most important difference between antimony and regular eyeliners is that it is very beneficial for the eyes:

• 1. In the Middle East, antimony is used to treat conjunctivitis and other eye diseases.

• 2. Antimony relieves irritation of the mucous membranes of the eye, in some cases it is used as an anti-allergenic agent for the eyes.

• 3. Antimony has a cleansing and refreshing effect on the eyes, making the whites of the eyes white and healthy. Relieves eyes from painful redness and fatigue, inflamed blood vessels.

• 4. Antimony stimulates the growth of new eyelash and eyebrow hairs.

In Eastern religious treatises you can read a lot about kohl, and there are clear recommendations and purposes for its use.

We reading: “There are two types of anointing with antimony: the first is to improve vision and remove plaque from the eye membrane, cleanse the eyes, without the purpose of embellishment, but only for the improvement and treatment of the eyes. The second type of application has the purpose of decoration, and this method is mandatory for women, because a woman must embellish herself for her husband. ”

Currently, there are many variations of kajal pencils and eyeliners with the addition of antimony, in a more familiar form for use. But none of them compares to the original powder!

Powdered kohl is recognized as the best. The advantage of this natural material is that it is absolutely safe for the eyes and can even be used for girls’ makeup.

The bowl from our GAZALA SHARK range is decorated in an exclusive vessel made of cherry wood. The fine woodworking makes this accessory a beautiful addition to your dressing table and cosmetic bag.

After finishing your kohl, you can use the vessel as an aroma pendant, and also put paper with a prayer in it.

Such an eastern tradition exists in Syria.

Protecting sacred words must be placed in a beautiful, clean form, preferably in an object that does not contain artificial materials, but is as close to nature as possible.

Thus, the vessel can be a beloved and expensive item, becoming a family heirloom and passed on from generation to generation. When you take it in your hands, all the above words will become more understandable – it has incredible warmth, protection and a great aura!

The effects of antimony are very much in demand in modern living conditions. First of all, relieving inflammation of the eyes, cleansing the eyes of debris, relieving eye fatigue, sharpening focus in case of loss of focus after prolonged stress during the day, for example, after several hours of straining gaze in front of a computer monitor, as well as relieving the unpleasant sensation of itching when standing in dusty rooms.

Also, kohl has enormous potential in the prevention and treatment of demodex disease. This problem is the development of eyelash mites, which feed on the ingredients of industrial decorative cosmetics. Kohl stops feeding the tick, as a result of which the symptoms of the disease are reduced.

With constant use of Kohl, the eyes are cleansed, redness and irritation disappear, and most importantly, the eyes become more expressive, the interlash line becomes clearer and more noticeable, and at the same time the makeup remains absolutely natural.

Another huge advantage of antimony is that you don’t have to wash it off at night, quite the contrary. If you regularly stain the mucous membranes at night, the antimony will cleanse the eyes and by the morning the look will be clearer and fresher.

Antimony has no expiration date!

Of course, it is very important to find high-quality antimony, otherwise there can be no talk of any benefits for eye health!

Pay attention to the country in which the raw materials are mined and, directly, to the color of the powder.

In the production of natural oriental cosmetics EAST NIGHTS, only two types of raw materials from Morocco and Iran are used. It is these two species that have the maximum purity of the natural deposits of the mining area, and are transformed at our plant into the best finely dispersed pure composition, the work is done by hand.

IMPORTANT! Real antimony only comes in natural shades of black, gray and dark green!

Black and green shades of our antimony

We bring to your attention powder kohl of the highest quality, which differs from cheap analogues in its durability, density, very beautiful shades and delicate shimmering shine.

Black kohl is made from the shell of coal; shades of gray kohl are characteristic of the stones in the middle layer of coal. A green tint is only possible in the case of Moroccan raw materials (this is a very rare tint that is acquired after the oxidation of the rock)

Use of antimony (kohl, kajal):

Using wooden sticks, which are built into special Arabic wooden vessels – kohlia. This method is considered the most convenient when using powdered antimony.

Kokhliya must be prepared before use: you need to remove the wooden stick and dip it 50% in peach oil for two days. Then take out the stick and carefully blot it with a napkin. Then you need to pour a small amount of antimony into the kohlia itself and lower the prepared stick. All this is necessary so that the antimony is well absorbed by the structure of the tree.

Before applying to the skin, the stick must be shaken so that powder particles do not fall on the cheeks.

Next, apply antimony to the eyelids in the same way as eyeliner: cover the eyelids and apply with a stick into the space between the eyelashes. The result is a beautiful inner line with dark lash bases. You can also wet the stick with water and then dip it in antimony and draw clear lines that will be located on the outside of the eyelids for a great effect.

Antimony can and should be applied to the inner (mucous) part of the eyelid for a healing effect and to achieve the special oriental beauty of antimony eyeliner.

In the same way, the use of kohl makes the eyebrow line beautiful, imperceptibly extends the line to the outer edge and widens it towards the bridge of the nose, while you can perfectly thicken the line by shading a little tiny kohl in those places on the eyebrow line where it is required. With a little practice, this makeup looks very natural; the kohl mixed with the kohl secretion becomes very soft and unnoticeable. This is the advantage of the pure powdery natural form of antimony, without any added oils or variations in the composition of the kohl.

The above describes the classic traditional way of preparing a stick for applying powder. It is quite possible (we even liked it better)) the following method: take an ordinary wooden toothpick, soak it for a day in any edible or cosmetic vegetable oil that you have. You can also use sunflower oil. That’s all! The ideal tool for oriental makeup is ready.

Our assortment includes such soulful and comfortable cohliyas. You can store antimony in them.

And if you really want, you can find an antique, handmade one.

Antimony can be used by children from the first year of life.

Traditionally in Arab countries it is applied to children to strengthen and stimulate the growth of eyelash and eyebrow hairs.

It is interesting that the use of antimony has a special – mystical meaning, as it protects both children and adults from the evil eye.

Antimony can be used by men.

Men in the East also use antimony; most likely, this tradition came from the Bedouins. The unfavorable climate—dust and sand—had a negative impact on eye health and kohl was used as a medicine. In modern times, antimony makeup is also relevant; many male celebrities add a “zest” to their image – antimony. This does not add femininity to them, quite the opposite!

It is also necessary to note the religious significance of antimony. Its use is discussed in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad. It is known that antimony is one of the seven items that were always with the prophet. Especially during the month of fasting – Ramadan – Muslims paint their eyes with black antimony.

A little history: to whom do we owe the appearance of Kohl.

All women of the East want to say THANK YOU to one person – namely, Abu Bakr Ar-Razi! This amazing man revolutionized the world of Eastern medicine with his discoveries.

It was Ar Razi who invented the method of sublimating a solid piece of coal and obtaining a fine powder for application to the eyes, using the traditional method of sublimation and cooling of vapors. This method results in the destruction of the solid structure and transformation into fine Kohl powder, bypassing the liquid phase.

Admit it, did you think before that kohl is ground, crushed or ground? Not at all!

If we take a deeper look at the technology of sublimation of coal with water vapor, then this is the process of sublimation of coal with the destruction of the structure of the initially solid substance, the process is accompanied by a change in the specific gravity and volume of the substance. Therefore, it is not such an easy process. Some types of raw materials must first be developed into pieces to make the process easier.

Around 800 AD, the Arab scientist Al-Razi managed to obtain a distillate by sublimation and cooling of vapors. The paradox is that alcohol was invented in the first place using this method. In those days, the sublimation method became a real revolution in medicine and cosmetology. The Arabs began to make finely dispersed kohl from coal by sublimation. The resulting product was called Al-khol. The same name in Arabic was assigned among technologists to all purified substances.

With his discovery of the method, the Arab scientist Al-Razi really opened up new possibilities in the field of medicine to the world, and this is just one of his discoveries!

He wrote about him in his book “Al-Hawi”, that is, “The Comprehensive Book of Medicine”. This large medical encyclopedia was translated from Arabic into Latin and then into all European languages ​​of the world. His works served as a guide for doctors in different countries for many centuries!

And, finally, an amazing bonus from the nature of the East, with long-term and regular use of natural kohl for the eyes and eyebrows,

You will notice the darkening of the natural color of the hairs of the eyebrows and eyelashes into a darker tone – this is a valuable quality of natural raw materials that has been used by oriental beauties since ancient times, when eyelashes become darker and expressive over time even without makeup.

This effect does not wash off and enhances the very natural beauty that is given to each of us from birth.

How to use antimony powder correctly

In order for the antimony to be applied to the eyebrows and eyes easily and beautifully, you need to use wooden sticks.

After two days, you need to remove the sticks, blot them on a napkin and place them in a wooden vessel with antimony. This procedure is done only once so that the powder is better absorbed into the wood.

After the sticks are lowered into the vessel, take one of them and shake lightly before applying the antimony to your eyelids. This way, extra particles of powder will not fall off onto your cheeks. Applying antimony is not as problematic as it initially seems. Just like you draw a line with eyeliner, draw a line with powder.
