We prefer cold-pressed, plant-based oils

Mineral oil is a by-product of petroleum. Because of this, there's a lot of talk about the potential dangers to our health and how it might be bad for our skin.
Mineral oil: villain or hero?

Some studies have identified carcinogenic elements. Some say it can accelerate ageing. Some say it causes dryness and allergic reactions. Some say it clogs pores and blocks absorption of vitamins and minerals.
Yet according to reports in Cosmetics & Toiletries (2001) and Cosmetic Dermatology (2000) cosmetics-grade mineral oil is one of the safest, most non-irritating moisturising ingredients around. Who do you believe? Plant-based oils are rich in essential fatty acids |

Our approach is simple. Super Natural Organic Skincare is all about natural ingredients. True, mineral oil and its close relative, white petrolatum (petroleum jelly) are derived from crude oil, a natural product of the earth, but their presence in the body is not 'natural'.
Why? Because mineral oil has no nutritional value. Contrast this with plant-based oils, which are rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins.
These include linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid, collectively known as vitamin F.
Our aim is to help the skin do what nature intended it to do. What better helper could you ask for than cold-pressed plant-based oils?
Cold-pressed for quality and purity
As you'll know if you appreciate good quality olive oil, cold-pressed oil is more expensive than oil produced at high temperatures. But it is purer, has more flavour and is far superior. Heat can change the oil's molecular structure and may introduce toxins.
In the EU, strict laws control the use of the term 'cold-pressed'. But the USA has no such controls. So the label may say 'cold-pressed' but the oil may not be of the quality you expect.
Because we want to be sure about the quality of our cold-pressed plant-based oils, we source them all from EU countries.
