  • What is expeller pressed castor oil?
  • This method ensures a purer, more beneficial oil, particularly suited for hair and skin applications, thanks to its unaltered nutrient profile. Expeller-pressed (often referred to as regular castor oil) is obtained by mechanically pressing castor seeds, generating high heat through friction.
  • What is the difference between pressed and cold pressed castor oil?
  • In contrast, pressed extraction physically squeezes out the oil, maintaining a more natural product profile. Cold-pressed castor oil, is a premium version obtained from the first pressing of castor seeds, characterized by its lower acidity, lighter texture, and clearer color.
  • Is cold pressed oil better than expeller press?
  • Hi Elizabeth, cold pressed oils typically provide more health benefits because there is less heat involved in the process, resulting in an oil with more nutrients and antioxidants. kindly clarify between cold press and expeller press. Hi! Expeller generates much higher heat during the process. Whereas cold-press doesn't get above 122.
  • Why is expeller pressed castor oil so expensive?
  • The seeds’ remains will form into a hard, brick-like substance that makes excellent animal feed. While much of the seed gets used in expeller pressing, this process leaves a significant amount of oil behind, leading to higher costs for expeller-pressed castor oil products.
  • What is expeller pressed oil?
  • Expeller-pressed oils are basically oils extracted by a fancy method called expeller pressing. It’s like a giant mechanical press, squishing seeds or nuts to get the oil out. This method doesn’t involve the use of chemicals or heat, but, yes, natural heat is evolved when machinery takes action.
  • How does an expeller press work?
  • An expeller press or “screw press,” is a machine that presses seeds and nuts through a cavity and uses intense friction and pressure to extract oil. During this process, there isn’t any added heat but since the seeds are pressed using friction, heat is created (around 140-210˚ F). Once the seeds are pressed, the oil is removed.
