H&B Oils Center Co. sells Neem Oil Virgin Organic Carrier Unrefined Cold Pressed also $15 but for 16 oz. What's the difference?

The difference? Most likely the name and price. Neem oil is a natural pesticide so I doubt the plant or seeds ever needs protection while growing, to be "labeled" organic. Neem comes in many watered down packages. For economics and ease of use, "spraying" and mixing, I would make sure to purchase 100% Neem, and hopefully filtered so it will not clog the sprayer.

You also should know that H&B; Oils is a questionable company, claiming that their oils are organic but with absolutely no proof and no certification. Also their address and location is never on the product. Just try to find them. Impossible. Scammers.

The difference is in the active ingredient,some cold pressed neems are cosmetic grade at best,. Neem Pro has the active ingredient azadirachtin mother natures most powerful organic insecticide 3750ppm-4500ppm.

According to my search on the web. This is unrefined and comes from the rose bush and is extracted from the seeds using the coldpress method. And there are also several things to look for since there are so many oils in the market. I hope to have been of some service to you.

I JUST got 2 Barlean's 32 oz Flax Oil bottles today. It says on the bottom of the rear label that it was "Fresh Pressed" on 1/16/15 AND I ordered it from SwansonVitamins.com a couple days ago. It also say next to the first date, "Freshest Before 7/16/15". Good price - cheaper than healthfood stores! It cost $33& change for one bottle & if I ordered 2 bottles I got free shipping. They ship it in refridgerated conditions.

A much better way to make oils is by expeller pressing. This is a chemical-free process in which the nut or seed is compressed to force the oil out mechanically. During the process, friction is generated which can sometimes generate too much heat for some more delicate oils like olive oil. This is where the term "cold pressed" comes in. All cold pressed oils are actually expeller pressed oils, it's just that the expeller pressing is done under controlled, cooler temperatures. No where on the label on the bottle do I see refined. There is a statement that says cold pressed and hexane free.Refined oils have been processed to remove impurities, making them more stable, especially for higher-temperature cooking. Since this is not an oil for cooking I assume its just cold pressed because refined and cold pressed don't go together and would deplete nutrients. Since this is pretty pure almond oil and is cold pressed it only has a 3 to 4 year shelf life. I use it for massaging.

While neem oil may be harmless, I have contacted the company to find out what the rest of the ingredients are. After all, if I am concerned about what I use in my garden, I should be entitled to know what is in it. This is the response I got: "The other 30% is inert ingredients. Inert ingredients are classified as confidential by law, so I'm not at liberty to give them out." To me this rings alarm bells! I ended up purchasing pure neem oil. You still dilute it, as you would this product. This way I do not have 30% of undisclosed ingredients to deal with and neem oil is the only active ingredient anyway. The product I chose is Coastal Scents Neem Oil, 16.90 Fluid Ounce, for $13, on Amazon. I like that it is fare trade and not tested on animals.

Cold pressed, if you look at their website. Organic and GMO free also. https://www.desertessence.com/top-uses-jojoba-oil

Savanaah's Argan Oil is 100% Pure, Raw & First Cold Pressed, nothing is added or removed to protect the nutrients & the purity of the Oil. It is Premium Grade USDA Certified Organic Argan Oil there is.

The only difference is that cold pressed is expeller pressed without exposure to heat during processing. There may be some loss of nutrients due to heat, but coconut oil is not delicate and stands up to heat well, so in my opinion expeller pressed is just fine.

According to the booklet that was sent with this product, no it is not cold pressed. But it is pure oil, which means no additives, bases, fillers or synthetics. Check here: www.edensgarden.com. Hope that helps! :)

The label on the bottle states that it is organic fractionated cold pressed. There is no USDA Certified Organic seal on the bottle. It's from the Philippines. I use it to make skin care products using essential oils. It is absorbed quickly into the skin. It is odorless & has a long shelf life. The price is very reasonable.

yes it is, extra virgin, expeller cold pressed, organic and bottled in glass. Pretty much as good as it gets and trust me I have done my research. The only advice I have is to research your local discount stores, I was able to find a comparable brand "Tahitian Sunset" with all the same qualities including USDA certified organic for $5.95-major price difference.

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition. Yes...BUT...

I believe it is unrefined. It is expeller pressed, with no chemicals (namely hexane) added. I'm not sure of the definitions, but I believe "refined" oils have been chemically extracted. This Loriva oil has not been chemically extracted.

Yes, the oil I purchased is cold pressed and can be used in its present state, or you can warm it up to melt it.
