What is the difference between Expeller Pressed vs. Cold Pressed?
It's a good question and unfortunately there are some misconceptions out there. Expeller pressing is actually a very desirable form of extracting oils from seeds. It is my understanding that all cold pressed oils are actually expeller pressed in cold temperatures but not all expeller pressed oils are cold pressed. Certain oils are cold pressed to preserve more flavor when consumed, for example olive or flax seed oil. It all has to do with temperature. Another interesting fact is that in the US, the labeling is very loosely if regulated at all. So when some are saying cold pressed, they indeed may not be at all due to very loose regulations. In Europe this is not the case and the terms have more meaning. For massage and skin purposes, non-chemical expeller pressed oils are very effective and quite healthy for the skin.
Do your products wash out of sheets?
Yes they usually do. We actually formulate them to wash out easily, but any oil can sometimes be a bit stubborn. We recommend washing within 24 hours of use and in hot water with strong detergent. Also soaking for a few minutes in the wash cycle can help.
How do I know if a product is Nut Free?
All our manufacturing is done in our facility that uses nut oil. We cannot make any guarantees that something is 100% nut free. We do provide ingredients lists which can be evaluated by the therapist, the client or the doctor. We do offer a Nut Free Lite Oil that does not contain any nut oils. We also offer other products that contain no nut oils. But, there is always the risk of cross contamination since our facility uses nut products as well. Keep in mind: anyone can be allergic to more than one ingredient. We recommend that all therapists require a thorough questionnaire before treatment
