Did you know that skin care ingredients can be unrefined and cold pressed, just like your favorite green juice? Puristry understands that what you put on your skin is just as important as what you eat. In fact, most of what you put on your skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream. That’s why our ingredients are not only certified USDA Organic, but also unrefined and cold pressed.
So What’s the Deal with Refined Oils?
Refined oils are much more processed than virgin oils, and therefore don’t provide as many nutrients. The refining process includes treating the oil with a chemical solution (typically sodium hydroxide), before deodorizing and bleaching the oil. It’s also common for refined oils to be cut with less expensive oils, in order to keep costs low.
This process diminishes many of the nutrients and antioxidants that are present in the virgin oil, meaning the refined oils can’t provide their maximum benefits. Although refined oils might be cheaper, they might not provide the results you were hoping for because the potent antioxidants have been stripped from the oil.
An easy way to tell if your oil is refined is to smell it; virgin oils have strong natural aromas, so a lack of scent is a clue that it has been refined. We use the natural aromas of the oils and butters to give our products a natural spa-like scent, versus adding artificial fragrances.
Do Cold Pressed Oils Really Have More Nutrients?
Yes! Using cold pressed oils is an extra step we take to ensure maximum results from our skin care products. A cold press compacts seeds and plants between two plates, releasing their natural oil. Applying heat to the seeds and nuts as they are being pressed can speed up the process and produce more oil; the downside is that this heat can also break down the nutritional content and weaken the aroma.
Unlike conventional practices, we cold press our ingredients to preserve as much nutritional value as possible. Our Restorative Facial Oil contains over 10 different types of oils from organic fruits and plants, and blending these ingredients together without heat creates a luxurious, nutrient-packed facial oil. It really is like a green juice for your skin!
