What is difference between pure, organic and carrier Jojoba Oils?

The 100% organic means that it is completely organic or made of all organic ingredients, meaning the conventional methods of fertilizing, etc are not used (pesticides). Not sure if 100% pure is actually regulated as "organic" labeling is. Carrier oil just means that you can add the oil to another product such as using with essential oils to dilute, moisturizers, or in soap making, etc. Each oil is used for a therapeutic purpose. Different oils may be beneficial for one thing vs another. Jojoba is a good oil to be used as a carrier but is a great conditioning oil for dry skin. It really depends on your purpose in using it. Many people use fractionated coconut oil as a carrier because it is very light & not greasy.

It is my understanding that carrier , base, or vegetable oils are used to dilute essential & absolute oils, they carry the essential oil. Carrier oils do not contain a concentrated aroma, unlike essential oils, they also do not evaporate, nor are they as volitile as essential oils.

The bottle says both. Two different types of extract and some powder also - all organic.

Yes, Skin so soft does contain jojoba seed oil (simmondsia chinensis). It also contains additives I have never heard of: Isopropyl palminate, dicapryl Adipate, Tocopheryl acetate and Diethyhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate. I only use the product as a mosquito repellent and it does a great job. I can understand why mosquitoes take offense to these ingredients, but I am a lot bigger than a mosquito.Between the bad effects of jojoba oil and disease carrying mosquitoes, I will take my chances with Skin so Soft.

I have already used the oil and discarded the bottle, but I do know from my research in carrier oils that Jojoba oil is concidered to have an indefinite shelf life. So I don't concern myself too much with the date on the bottle. Hope this helps!

To be honest, I would't trust this company. Mine came in a brown plastic bottle so I couldn't tell that it wasn't true golden jojoba (as advertised and visible in the clear bottles) until I poured some in a glass. I have used jojoba for years, so as soon as I put some on my face I could tell that it wasn't the right stuff. It's not golden, it's sticky and probably refined, and there is NO official organic certification. The price is tempting but you're getting an inferior product from a dubious company. Hope this helps.

Hello, Heidi ! The name of RED RASPBERRY SEED OIL states it is 100% Pure / Natural / VIRGIN. Cold Pressed / UNDILUTED Carrier Oil. So it means it is NOT mixed with any other oil, just 100% RASPBERRY. I just want to point out the difference between Essential Oil and Carrier Oil: Essential Oil is distilled from the leaves, bark, roots and other aromatic portions of a plant. Essential Oil cannot be used directly on the skin. Carrier Oil, on the other hand, is pressed from the fatty portions: seeds, nuts, kernels and is also known as base oil or vegetable oil. Carrier oil is used directly to the skin . Hope this helps :)

I am not sure you can find PURE oil only as each needs a carrier and something to prohibit it from becoming rancid after a short time. This however, does NOT contain any sulfates and is organic.

Hi Lisa, the bottle lists saponified organic oils of coconut, olive and jojoba, natural essential oil blend, organic aloe vera and rosemary extract.

I know it is Hexand free. I could not find one that said organic. The reviews I read said it was a great carrier oil. I got it to use with my essential oil kit. Everyone I talked to said to get this one. I did find the coconut organic oil that I needed also. Hope I helped some..

Unfortunatly most oilive oils sold today are not pure . Nobody monitors the industry. In reality only God knows whats in those bottles. Some of the oils are actually toxic to your body. You HAVE TO RESEARCH. Hope this helps. Trader Joes Kirkland are two good ones

The main difference between virgin coconut oil and regular, organic coconut oil is the amount of refining the oil undergoes. Refined coconut oil means the oil has undergone a process of drying the coconut. This type of coconut oil may sometimes be called deodorized or bleached according to Live the Organic Life. This is usually done outside in the Sun. Generally, refined coconut oil is thought of as being of a lesser quality. Unrefined Unrefined coconut oil may also be called virgin coconut oil. The type of method used to extract the oil from the coconut is done in the most natural way. This way, the coconut oil stays in its natural form without the use of any artificial filtering which is sometimes used in the process of refined coconut oil. No chemicals are used in the process of extracting coconut oil using this method. Read more: http://www.ehow.com/info_8283628_differences-virgin-organic-coconut-oil.html#ixzz2rbNCh7UA

I'm getting ready to order the avocado oil to alternate with NOW jojoba oil... LOVE the jojoba! Almond oil seems lighter to me and does not penetrate and moisturize for an extended period of time. I think trying avocado and jojoba will allow you to determine which works best for what... Enjoy!!

Well it says on the label this is from mexico. This particular plant originates down south here in the US and I would guess mexico also. I read somewhere that organic is not the important factor with jojoba oil. That organic doesn't say much about quality. More important is unrefined, cold pressed, virgin (first pressed). Haven't bought this brand yet, but based on reviews, it seems like the description from the seller rings true, that its top grade stuff.
