Castor Bean Oil Cold Pressed

Carrier oils are rich in vitamins and minerals and are of incredible benefit to the skin. Each oil offers different properties and the choice depends on the therapeutic benefit being sought. They can be used for moisturising, protecting and soothing the skin, wound healing and maintaining skin elasticity. Carrier oils keep skin and hair soft, lustrous and smooth. They are also used in massage as carriers of essential oils, facilitating their safe dilution and absorption into the skin. They can also be used as a base for natural soaps, creams and lotions.

This oil is produced to ecological standards and free from agro-chemicals

Cold pressed vegetable oils are the best and generally superior quality oils. The term cold pressed states that the oil is produced by pressing without supplying extra heat. Thy are neither refined with chemicals or solvents, nor deodorized with steam. The term "cold-pressed" is not an indication of the temperature used in the process, for example, seed oils are extracted at an average temperature of 37°C. The freshly pressed oils are collected in stainless steel tanks and then pumped through filters, which extract the remaining seed sediment. The oil is then transferred to chilled oil stores and protected from natural light. Cold pressed oils have a limited shelf life and should not be exposed to high temperature.
