We all know and love Nara Smith for her from-scratch cooking on TikTok and Instagram, and now she’s bringing that same thoughtful artistry to your kitchen with her Roasted Garlic Oil, created in collaboration with Algae Cooking Club.

This special release marks the brand’s first-ever glass bottle, a moment of elevated simplicity and tactile beauty. At Nara’s request, the oil is housed in a frosted glass vessel that diffuses light, giving the golden oil a soft, glowing warmth while protecting the quality of the oil. The bottle’s rounded shoulders and minimalist silhouette lend it a refined yet approachable feel, blurring the line between a kitchen staple and countertop decor.
