Nourish Your Skin With Cold Pressed Oils

Nourish Your Skin With Cold Pressed Oils

Do you know whether your favourite facial oils are cold-pressed? When it comes to the skincare oils in your daily routine, the extraction method used to produce oil is just as important as what type of oil you choose.

Every product you apply to your skin will be absorbed into your body, so paying attention to the types and quality of ingredients in every oil, moisturiser, serum, and cream is crucial for good health. When skincare oils are extracted from plants and seeds using high heat or chemicals, this process can dramatically reduce the positive effects of the oil. In addition, toxic chemicals used during extraction may even make products unsafe to use.

What Does Cold Pressed Mean?

Cold-pressed oils for skin are extracted from nuts, seeds, and other herbal ingredients with an oilseed press and squeezed slowly over a long period of time.

Cold pressing does not use any chemicals, added heat, or solvents to extract the oils. To be cold-pressed, the extraction process must be done at temperatures under 48°C / 120°F. The lower temperatures help preserve the oil's natural nutrients, fatty acids, antioxidants, and amino acids.

What are the Benefits of Cold Pressed Oils?

Cold-pressed skincare oils provide health benefits that outweigh the oils produced with added high heat or harsh chemicals.

1. Protection of Natural Nutrients

Cold pressing allows for retaining and protecting natural nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins in seed, nut, and plant oils. This means they retain up to 80% more of the potent nutrients that heal and rejuvenate skin than their heated counterparts.

2. Free of Synthetic Chemicals

As the precious oils are not extracted using chemical solvents, this means they are also free from harmful chemical residues and anything synthetic and toxic.

3. Skin Hydration

The fatty acids and vitamins extracted during cold pressing can be highly hydrating and rejuvenating. This makes cold-pressed skincare oil the perfect face oil for dry skin. Hydrating face oils work with your body's natural oils and moisturise your skin for a more radiant, healthy glow.

4. Skin Soothing and Anti-Inflammation

Cold-pressed oils can have anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe skin conditions and reduce irritation. For those with itchy, red, or sensitive skin, organic body oils for dry skin can provide much-needed relief.

5. Repairing Skin Barrier

Cold pressed skincare oils help support the skin's ability to heal and repair. The natural nutrients strengthen the skin's barrier, retaining moisture and producing smoother skin.

6. Environmentally Friendly

Not only are cold-pressed oils good for your skin, they're also better for the environment. Cold-pressing seeds, nuts, and plants take less energy and avoid harsh chemicals that other extraction processes use.

What Are Some of the Best Organic Oils for Skincare?

If you would like to try using natural oils for cleaner, organic skincare that offers visible results, here are some of the best oils to look for:

• Rosehip

Rosehip oil is rich in vitamins A and C and contains high omega 3 and omega 6 levels, which aid in tissue and cell membrane regeneration. This cold pressed oil can also shrink enlarged pores, brighten the skin, and reduce the appearance of scars. The Pure Organic Rosehip Face Oil from Swiss Toniq is made from cold-pressed fresh rosehip and undiluted for maximum potency.

• Argan

Argan oil is rich in fatty acids and vitamin E and can provide hydration and protection for any skin type. Cold-pressed natural, organic argan oil comes exclusively from native Moroccan trees. Swiss Toniq’s Pure Organic Argan Face Oil is undiluted and uncooked and can protect against sun damage, clear up acne, balance oily skin, and reduce the signs of ageing.

• Avocado Oil

Avocados are delicious, but did you know that avocado oil also provides many skincare benefits? Avocado oil is high in antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. This oil is a wonderful moisturiser, anti-inflammatory, and can even act as a natural sunblock. It is recommended for those with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, or acne. Avocado oil can be applied to your skin directly or combined with other ingredients for highly effective skincare products.

• Baobab

Baobab oil from the baobab tree native to Australia, Africa, and Madagascar is a rare and powerful oil that acts as a natural skin cleanser and moisture balancer. Baobab oil can increase skin elasticity and promote skin cell rejuvenation.

• Jojoba

Jojoba oil is a wonderful moisturiser and resembles the sebum in your skin. This lightweight ingredient is suitable for all skin types and can help balance your skin's natural oil production.

 

Adding high heat and toxic chemicals to seeds, nuts, and other plants to extract natural oils can produce ineffective and even harmful skincare products. When selecting products, look for raw, cold-pressed ingredients that use the full nutritional properties of the plant. Cold pressing keeps antioxidants, vitamins, fatty acids, and other nutrients intact, which results in healthier, more radiant skin.
