H&amp;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.

Solvent, rather than cold pressing is generally used for regular, non-virgin coconut oil, but the solvent is washed out via filtering. This coconut oil is food-safe and also suitable for cosmetics and so on. I recently made 4 batches of homemade soaps that are all or mostly coconut oil. The oil is white without any noticeable odor. I would not expect it to have the faint coconutty odor of virgin, or extra virgin coconut oil. Perhaps the yellow version, colored with annatto seed, was sent instead?

It's organic virgin, cold pressed, USDA organic stamped, fair trade culinary oil. There may be some better oils out there, but we really like the taste and consistancy of this one.

As I researched the essential depot sight I found that this oil is said to be cold pressed, usually cold pressing is hexane free, they were helpful with my soaping questions so if you contact them I am sure they would be happy to help.Their catch phrase is greener life essentials so I hope it would be hexane free.

It's sorta hard to quantify but I've used them both now and I like this one just as much. Especially the price. Since buying this one, I've learned more about the company and now have quite a few more of their oils. Good stuff in my opinion.

It comes in a plastic 16oz Amber bottle. I will add that most reputable distributors (where oils are concerned) use plastic containers to ship anything you purchase from them that is over 4 ounces. This cuts down on the weight, but most importantly, it is safer as far as breakage/waste is concerned. You have no idea what our packages go through, when they are being shipped out to consumers, and that goes for EVERY package/mail carrier. Feel free to purchase your own 16 ounce GLASS bottles, separately, to decant any of the liquid or raw materials into, as soon as you get them. This is what I do, and it works quite efficiently, in my opinion. I hope this helps. It comes in a plastic 16oz Amber bottle.

According to the information on the Aura acacia website, this oil is cold pressed. Enjoy!

Not sure. I have others that are. I will have to look at the markings on the bottle when I go home. But I do like it and have ordered it a couple of times. In face I am about to reorder. OK I checked and there is nothing on the label that says Cold Pressed.

It isn't completely organic/natural. I recommend heading over to trader joes or looking for coconut oil that is extra virgin, organic, first cold pressed so that you receive the complete benefits. I didn't enjoy this oil at all; you will find that now foods does not make great natural products.

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.

This is "organic virgin" which equals to "extra virgin" as they used to labelled. It is the "cold pressed" which is the best way to strip the oil from the plant with the most nutrients undamaged.

You may want to Goggle it and read up on the term "EXTRA VIRGIN" when it comes to Coconut Oil. "extra" should not be used and "virgin" probably should be dropped from use as well. I believe that the words Organic, cold pressed, and unrefined/refined is what we should look for in Coconut oil.

This is 100% cold pressed Neem Oil without any additives. Rather than killing the grasshoppers, it detours them. There are tons of positive online reviews about this particular type of Neem Oil.

My order was a bit confused. I have been ill and was in the middle of a cross country move so I just let the mixup go. I got 1-8 oz of the neem oil which did have a date on the tape securing that the bottle was still sealed. It was in a taller grey opaque bottle. It's now gone but it was in a good date range. I also got this 4 oz bottle. It seems to be a darker oil than the 8 oz. I used all the larger bottle. I am fighting a dermatitus that has been going on for a year (since I moved to the apartment that I am now moving away from) The Dr's couldn't seem to help me so I was trying natural remedies. It has been nightmare x 4. I suspect mites but of course that can't be in the continental US, I say sarcastically... even as we now have ebola floating around, lol Anyway...sorry for the digression, it has been a rough road. This smaller possibly darker color, 4oz bottle does not have an expiration date labeled.

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.
