What cold pressed actually means

After fruit is dried and kernels are cracked, a press extracts oil mechanically. Cold-pressed cosmetic oil is not hexane-extracted and is not steam-deodorized into a bland refined oil. Filtration after pressing is normal; aggressive refining is not.

Heat used as an extraction shortcut can dull aroma and damage tocopherols. Faster industrial methods exist, but they are not what most clean-beauty specs call “cold pressed.”

Ask how the oil was pressed, not only whether the brochure says cold pressed.

What to request on a wholesale spec

A serious supplier can state: unroasted kernels (for cosmetic), mechanical press, no solvents, batch COA, and packing by lot number. If the oil is odorless and water-white, it has likely been refined beyond a typical Moroccan cosmetic grade.

Points clés

Les étapes clés d'une bonne extraction

No solvents

Oil should be mechanically pressed, not chemically extracted.

Mild aroma

A light nutty scent is normal. Perfume is not.

Pale gold

Unroasted cold-pressed oil is light, not dark roasted amber.

Lot COA

Peroxide value and appearance should match the drum you receive.

FAQ

Questions sur les procédés d'extraction

Is filtered oil still cold pressed?

Yes. Filtering solids after pressing is standard. Refining, bleaching, and deodorizing are a different process.

Does cold pressed cost more?

Usually, because yield and labor are higher. Unrealistically cheap “cold pressed” oil is often diluted or refined.

Do you sell cold-pressed oil in bulk?

Yes. See our cold-pressed product page for packing from liters to IBC totes.
