🌱 Cold-pressed oils are produced by mechanical pressing of raw materials at low temperatures, thanks to which they retain a large amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

👎 Oils refined or pressed at high temperatures are subjected to processes that remove valuable nutrients. This process produces much more oil, which is why it is cheaper than its cold-pressed counterpart.

🌱 Cold-pressed oils are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and unsaturated fatty acids, which are extremely beneficial for the skin (and health in general).

👎 Additionally refined oils lose many of these ingredients as a result of the refining process.

🌱 Due to the high content of nutrients, cold-pressed oils are more effective in providing the skin with the necessary ingredients.

👎 Low in vitamins and other nutrients, oils pressed at high temperatures do not offer uniform benefits.

🌱 Cold-pressed oils are gentler on the skin and have a lower risk of causing allergic reactions or irritations.

👎 Refined oils, although not always, may contain remains of chemicals used in the refining process, which may irritate the skin.

🌱 The cold pressing process is more environmentally friendly because it does not require the use of chemicals or large amounts of energy.

👎 Oil refining is more energy intensive and may lead to the emission of harmful substances.
