Is hexane used to process this oil?

That would be a question to ask the manufacturer. The bottle says "expeller pressed and hexane free".

It states on the bottle "Hexane Free" maybe you should ask the distributor or manufacturer??

I have no idea. The paperwork with it did not mention oiling and I can not find a spot to do so.

Not to certain about that one. These oils are originally used for candy making. I particularly uses them for baking purposes.

Yes I believe so. I used a cedar oil product. I talked to the manufacture and was told as long as the product was like a water consistency it would work fine he told me if it was thick like motor oil it would not work

I am far from an expert! But to my knowledge hexane gassing is a method of refining oils. And Banyan does claim that their castor oil is "unrefined." I am unsure of any other purpose that hexane serves, so I would say this is most likely hexane free.

I don't think it is, Tina. I looked up this product on the NOW Foods site and it just says "hexane free," which knowing that they use hexane to extract their black currant oil, probably means they use it for this too and just let it evaporate and then claim it's "hexane free" as it has acceptable amounts of hexane left in it. That's legal to do, although not desirable. You might try Nature's Way Cold-Pressed evening primrose. Good stuff and very clean.

That is a good question and I am afraid I cannot answer. What I can provide is the oil seems to be as wonderful in terms of quality. I store in a dark cabinet if that helps.

I've not used this particular brand, but I have used other water soluble oils in the past. A mild petroleum odor seems to be the norm. And the rate or degree of spoilage seems to depend on who makes the stuff. I've solved that problem by mixing only what I need at the time I need it.

Yes, a little less than 5ml. But, something to keep in mind, is that very little Helichrysum is needed in any given recipe. I have never used more than 3-4 drops because of the exceptional potency of the oil.

hello, well, it says it is "cold processed, and is void of Hexane and all other solvent residue." I am very sensitive to any chemicals. I have had no adverse reactions to this product. Hope this helps!

You may be right. All I have used is the same oil. It was so cheap I will keep using it.

Hi Jim! It doesn't mention about how the oil be processed. This oil is from the seeds. I take it internally. :D

The label does not specify. The hexane extraction process is used for making biofuel rather than oil for human consumption. In terms of quality and safety, most opinions are that the forms used in supplements are acceptable. The omega-3 in cold extraction and chemical extraction for human consumption are equal. If you want a algae oil supplement that is cold pressed, specify that when you look for dietary supplements. Amazon sells cold pressed algae oil. Hope this helps.

Refining has nothing to do with the pressing technique used to extract the oil from the nut. So, a cold pressed oil can then be refined by filtering, etc. If this is unrefined, then the company should state that fact.

It really depends on the viscosity of the oil. If too thick then, no, because it is going through a small opening/valve. If, however, the oil is similar to a light salad oil, then I'd say yes, assuming that residue doesn't harden and cake up.

Yes, this is essentially pure petroleum that can be used in any application where motor oil is used. Try this or try running Mobil 1 High Mileage in your generator. That made a world of difference in my father's generator.

Yes you can, but I'm not sure about the amount since these are very very concentrated oils. It would be best to Goggle for information
