  • What is the difference between refined and unrefined carrier oils?
  • Just like cooking oils, carrier oils come in refined and unrefined versions. Refined oils are more processed, which usually makes them more shelf-stable and have more neutral aromas. Unrefined oils haven’t been processed and might have shorter shelf lives, but usually retain their natural properties better than refined oils.
  • What are carrier oils?
  • Carrier oils can be defined as cold pressed, refined or unrefined oils. You might have heard these terms before but what exactly do they mean and what types of oils should we be looking out for?
  • Are unrefined oils better than refined oils?
  • Unrefined oils haven’t been processed and might have shorter shelf lives, but usually retain their natural properties better than refined oils. Unrefined oils are typically expeller-pressed or cold-pressed, which don’t apply heat to extract the oils.
  • What is the difference between unrefined oil and cold pressed oil?
  • Unrefined oils on the other hand are processed with a mechanical press without heat or chemicals. Oils are ‘squeezed’ out of the plant component (seed or nut) using mechanical extraction. Cold pressed oils are mechanically extracted with minimal heat.
  • What is unrefined oil?
  • Unrefined oils are either cold-pressed or expeller-pressed, which means they are minimally processed using mechanical extraction (pressure) and low-temperature controlled conditions to extract the oil from the seed, nut, etc. They can also be referred to as ‘virgin’ or ‘extra virgin’.
