Castor Oil - Cold Pressed & Hexane Free
Honest Skincare castor oil is rich in omega-6, omega-9, and vitamin E, which mean it's a nourishing and hydrating ingredient. Castor oil also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties thanks to its high ricinoleic acid content. All of this makes it a well-rounded beauty oil with many topical uses.
This oil has been extracted from castor beans by the cold press process, no solvents are used in the extraction process.
So to answer your question: does it contain hexane? We can say emphatically that it does not contain any hexane at all. The question we are often asked: is it organic? No, it is not certified organic (which would increase the price significantly), however it is about as pure as you can get - so you can rest assured that it is 100% natural and good for your body.
Comes in a 500ml, 1 Litre or 5 Litre plastic bottle made from HDPE.
HDPE plastic is the most environmentally stable of all plastics, giving off no harmful fumes into the environment. Manufacturing HDPE plastics requires only a very small amount of energy to produce, further contributing to its classification of being Eco-friendly. HDPE is completely free from BPA, is a non-reactive product and stable at ambient storage conditions. It does not decompose in the air and does not release any harmful gases or other products. HDPE is food grade, and is the same plastic that your milk comes in.
