Its colour is dark burgundy and, according to some sources, is regarded as the best type of ithmid kohl in terms of purity and effectiveness (though this is debatable, as there is little difference between it and the red Hejazi).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMisinformation About Isfahani Ithmid Kohl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsfahani ithmid kohl is a distinct, standalone type of ithmid kohl — totally different from red Hijazi kohl in terms of its source. Some online sellers wrongly conflate the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the best of our knowledge, Isfahani ithmid kohl only comes in a red\/burgundy colour. There is no black variety. However, some sellers market black kohl as \"black Isfahani\" — either out of genuine ignorance or to capitalise on the Isfahani reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed vs Black Ithmid Kohl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll types of ithmid kohl, regardless of colour, possess the beneficial effects associated with its use as mentioned in the Sunnah. However, the red types are regarded as medicinally superior, with the Isfahani considered the finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red types are significantly lighter than the black types. A 7–8 g bottle of Isfahani ithmid, when filled, compares to 10–12 g for the same bottle filled with black ithmid — illustrating how much finer and lighter the red varieties are. This may result in better absorption of active ingredients and explains why it is preferred for medicinal use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its lightness and fineness, Isfahani ithmid kohl is generally recommended for people with sensitive eyes and for those using ithmid kohl as a form of alternative or complementary treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage of the black types is their cosmetic benefit — their deep colour enhances the appearance of the eyes and can serve as a natural alternative to eyeliner and mascara, as well as being used on eyebrows to add definition and volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDifference Between Isfahani and Red Hejazi Ithmid Kohl\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are red varieties of ithmid kohl and share similar properties. The Isfahani originates from the Isfahan region, while the red Hejazi comes from the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia.
