A Note about the different qualities of oil
All of the oils we stock have different and varying degrees of
quality. And all of them have been processed by distinct and various
methods. The information below will help you better understand not
only our line of oils, but also the entire industry of oils and
their methods of extraction.
Cold Pressed - A method of
mechanical extraction where heat is reduced and minimized throughout
the batching of the raw material. This helps the oil maintain its
original state, constituents, and depth. Temperatures are rigorously
controlled to ensure that it does not exceed 80-90 degrees
Fahrenheit. Although not a practical method of extraction for all
vegetable oils on the market it is highly regarded as the extraction
method of choice.
Expeller Pressed - A method of natural, mechanical
extraction and processing of oils where a small amount of heat is
produced simply through the frictional heat created by hydraulic
presses. This is usually around 120-200 degrees Fahrenheit and makes
the oil suitable and economical as a base for cosmetics because of
its fairly undisturbed molecular state. It also makes a fine food
grade oil.
Refined - A fully processed oil where it has been
exposed to all methods of refinement including a flash fluctuation
in temperature as high as 450 degrees and winterization as low as
-30 degrees, deodorization, which removes the heavy and often
unsettling odor in oil, and finally bleaching, where natural clays
and other mediums are used to alter or remove an oils color, and
scent. This makes for an economical oil in cosmetics and body care
products, but it is not the healthiest as a food grade oil.
