The range
What Nothing To Hide Makes
Nothing To Hide sells cold-pressed, unrefined cooking oils across five varieties used in Indian home cooking: groundnut, mustard, coconut, sesame, and sunflower. Each oil is extracted without heat or chemical solvents. The extraction method preserves the oil's natural fatty acid profile, aroma, and flavour.
Every oil in the range is available in two packaging formats. Coconut oil is the exception: it is not available in the spray or smart measuring bottle because it naturally thickens or solidifies in cooler temperatures and may affect the dispensing mechanism.
Spray bottle
A propellant-free pump that delivers a fine, controlled mist. No aerosol, no added propellant. One or two presses coats a full pan evenly. The spray format suits calorie-tracked cooking, air fryer use, and roasting where a thin, uniform coat matters.
No other brand in India currently sells cold-pressed cooking oil in this format.
Smart measuring bottle
A chamber dispenser that releases a fixed volume of oil per pour. It replaces a standard wide-neck pour bottle without requiring any change to the cooking routine. The fixed-pour mechanism reduces per-use oil volume compared to an open-mouth bottle.
Both formats contain the same cold-pressed oil. The choice between them is a question of how you cook, not which oil you want.

What Makes Nothing To Hide Different
Most cooking oil sold in India reaches the cook in an open-neck or wide-mouth bottle. That format makes it difficult to control how much oil goes into the pan. For a household managing health conditions, tracking calories, or trying to reduce monthly oil spend, a pour bottle provides no reliable measure.
Nothing To Hide's approach is a format change at the point of use. The spray bottle converts a cook who previously poured from an open bottle into someone who mists a pan with two pumps. The smart measuring bottle makes a precise pour the default, not a conscious decision.
The oil in the bottle is cold-pressed and unrefined. Cold-pressed groundnut oil retains its natural MUFA content of approximately 55 percent and its Vitamin E at approximately 20mg per 100ml. Cold-pressed mustard oil, with a smoke point of 190 to 200 degrees Celsius, handles high-heat cooking without the flavour changes associated with refined alternatives. The format delivers these nutritional properties in a dispensing mechanism designed for precision.
