Is this oil cold pressed?

It is not indicated on the label any where that I found and I'm not sure how to know that from simple observation, so I would say maybe not.

The label doesn't explicitly say that it's cold-pressed. However, it does mention that it was mechanically pressed and no chemicals were used in making it.

The opposite is true. Cold Pressed is by far better for your skin. Google around (although it might be tough to find this info). I recently bought Nature's Way and they sent me Expeller Pressed coconut oil for some reason. It didn't soak into my skin at all, made my eyes red and kinda hurt (if I put it under near my eyes) and it left an oily feeling ALL day long. I researched through google and the amazon comments section and found out that expeller pressed does that to you. So long answer short, USE COLD PRESSED FOR COOKING AND FOR SKIN.

According to the product label, it is 'pressed' (seed kernels) to extract the 'juice'. So since it doesn't indicate heating it must be COLD PRESSED as indicated.I hope this has helped.

Yes - as the others have stated - the bottle says it is 100% wild harvested cold pressed marula oil. I, also, was looking at a more expensive version, but did some research and found NOW company had it at a much more reasonable price. I love this stuff - I use it as my night "cream" and feel like my skin has greatly improved - in texture and looks.

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.

yes it has been refrigerated, but the oil has been used many months ago. I do remember that the pressing date was within a few days of delivery. Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

Mine came 01/07/16 and the press date was Oct./Nov. 2014 from ArtsiHome. I have a problem with getting oil pressed in 2014, and being sold in 2016. Not as fresh as it should be.

Cold pressed is on the bottle which I purchased. There is no description that says expeller. Regardless, mine is just fine and my hair and nails seem to flourish. This is a very light colored Castor Oil; I do not believe that expeller is should be an issue.

They are not but they are working on it. It is, however, oil with wonderful flavor and past the cold test for me.

I could not tell if it was cold processed or not. Based on the lower quality of the oil, I do not think it was organic. Definitely not what I would consider high or therapeutic quality. This is my opinion only.

Yes, the label indicates that it is cold pressed, hexane-free. The ingredients are pure, cold pressed organic ricinus communis (castor) oil.

As the listing States: "Cold pressed; Extra virgin;" Easily dissecting the words would give you the answer actually. Cannot get Extra virgin or cold-pressed from copra or dried anything....including dried coconuts. From: http://vegetarian.about.com/od/rawfoodsrecipes/a/cold-pressed-oil.htm "Cold-pressed oils are oils made by first grinding nuts, seeds, fruits or vegetables (depending on the oil being made) into a paste. Then an oil stone or other tool is used to press the paste which forces the oil to separate out. Many labels use the term cold-pressed, but they aren't all considered raw and suitable for a truly 100% raw food diet. To be raw, the oil cannot be heated above 115F. Some manufacturers will heat up the paste in order to extract more oil. This alters not only the nutritional value of the food, but also the color and flavor. The only way to know for sure if an oil is truly raw is to contact the manufacturer directly. You can also do some on-line research to find companies with strict raw regulations and effective investigative practices. Essential Living Foods is one trusted source and a Greek company called Eliki Olive Oil produces an authentic raw oil." Extra virgin: From: Google Search adjective adjective: extra virgin 1. denoting a particularly fine grade of olive oil made from the first pressing of the olives and containing a maximum of one percent oleic acid.

The label doesn't say if it's cold pressed or not, but it does read 100% pure. I used to use Josie Maran's Argan Oil, but just couldn't afford it any more. I've found this company's argan oil to be top quality, feel the full benefits to my skin (face & body) as well as my hair, and I'm spending a whole lot less for it!

It is organic and cold pressed, but I believe there is some refining involved to turn it into liquid form. Unrefined coconut oil is solid at room temperature. This is not solid. However, that does not make it unsafe.
