Cold Pressed Castor Oil

Cold-pressed castor oil is produced using a mechanical extraction process that avoids high temperatures to preserve the oil’s natural nutrients and antioxidants. Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:

1. Sourcing: Start with high-quality, fresh castor beans.
2. Cleaning: Remove impurities and contaminants from the beans.
3. Dehulling: Remove the outer shell of the castor beans.
4. Cold Pressing: Use a hydraulic press to crush the beans at low temperatures (below 50°C or 122°F). This gentle extraction method ensures the oil retains its natural properties.
5. Filtration: Filter the extracted oil to remove any remaining solids and impurities.
6. Storage: Store the cold-pressed castor oil in clean, airtight containers to maintain its quality.
