Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hi Tracy, > Is cold pressed not the norm for most citrus oils? Yes .. though there are also steam distilled citrus oils. > These are cold pressed?? Are you saying these are not EO's? My opinion and the opinion of many others in the industry is .. Cold Pressed or Expeller Pressed oils are just that .. not Essential Oils. Same goes for Absolutes .. they're not Essential Oils .. they're Absolutes. There are some in the industry who would like to consider themselves as being the final word .. but they are just fooling the easily fooled .. and themselves. We have no chiseled in stone standards in AT and the terminology is often manipulated in order to hype low quality products. In any industry there should be an agreed upon lexicon .. but we have none in the AT/EO industry. > Tracy Tappin (BC Canada) > Goat's Milk Skin Care http://www.goatmilkskincare.com > CAE Tested and CL Free LaMancha Dairy Goat's Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com >>>>Cold pressed oils are NOT Essential Oils.
