Grades explained

Cold pressed, refined or virgin — and why it changes your formula

Carrier oils are bought carelessly more often than any other raw material in cosmetics, usually on price and botanical name alone. The result turns up six months later as rancidity in a finished product, or as a colour and odour that fights the fragrance the brand paid a perfumer to design.

Cold-pressed oil retains its unsaponifiables, colour, odour and vitamin content, which is what a natural brand is buying. Refined oil has been bleached and deodorised: paler, blander, more stable and easier to formulate around. Neither is better in the abstract — but choosing without knowing the free fatty acid value, the peroxide value and the moisture content is choosing blind.

  • Free fatty acid (FFA) and peroxide value (PV) declared on every lot
  • Iodine value and saponification value for formulation work
  • Moisture and insoluble impurities for stability prediction
  • Fatty acid profile by GC on request — the only real proof of identity
  • Nitrogen flushing and antioxidant addition available for sensitive oils

Specification

The numbers that predict shelf life

A carrier oil specification without FFA and peroxide value is not a specification. Every lot we release carries both.

ParameterWhy it matters
Free fatty acid (FFA)Rising FFA means hydrolytic breakdown has started; it predicts odour and instability
Peroxide value (PV)The single best early indicator of oxidative rancidity in a finished product
Iodine valueDegree of unsaturation — tells you how prone the oil is to oxidation in your formula
Saponification valueEssential for soap and emulsion formulation work
Fatty acid profile (GC)The only real identity proof; also predicts skin feel and absorption
Moisture & volatilesDrives microbial risk and hydrolytic rancidity
Unsaponifiable matterThe fraction carrying the actives natural brands pay for
Packing5 kg / 25 kg HDPE jerricans, 190 kg drums, nitrogen flushed on request
MOQ1 kg trial · 25 kg contract · 500 units filled retail

Frequently asked

Questions buyers ask about this range

Cold pressed means mechanically expressed without applied heat, retaining colour, odour, vitamins and unsaponifiables. Virgin usually means first-press and unrefined, though the term is not tightly regulated for most oils. Refined has been bleached and deodorised — paler, blander and more oxidatively stable. Choose on what your formula and your brand story need, not on price alone.

Lower is better, and the acceptable ceiling depends on the oil. As a working rule, fresh cold-pressed oil should arrive well under 10 meq/kg and many buyers specify under 5. What matters more than the absolute number is that it is measured on the lot you are receiving rather than quoted as a typical value.

Yes — IP, BP and USP grades across a defined list, supplied against the monograph with the corresponding analysis. Tell us which pharmacopoeia and which edition, because the limits differ between them.

Cool, dark, and with as little headspace as possible. Oxygen and light are what degrade them. We nitrogen flush and can add a natural antioxidant such as mixed tocopherols or rosemary extract on request, which is worth doing for high-unsaturation oils like rosehip, flaxseed and evening primrose.

We run a certified organic carrier range, but the certified list changes with certification renewal. We confirm current status and supply the valid certificate — and, for EU shipments, the certificate of inspection — for your specific material at quotation rather than claiming it blanket.
