QUALITIES and GRADES OF MASSAGE/CARRIER OILS
Remember that unrefined oils smell just like the seed or nut from which they came. No smell means that the oil has been refined regardless of what the label states.

The refining process removes all living essentials, colors, phyto-nutrients, vitamins, minerals, phospholipids and essential oils. This is done to increase the shelf-life of the oil and to harvest important chemicals inherent in the oil. One of these commonly harvested chemicals is oleic acid. Oleic acid lowers cholesterol and has the quality of absorption in an oil.

The cost of refinement renders an oil depleted of all nutrient value, but most importantly, the heat involved in refinement creates dangerous acrylimides or plastics. This is also why trans-fats or hydrogenated oils are so dangerous to our well-being and, they are found in all processed foods from the cereals we eat to the oils and lotions we apply to our body, even trans-dermal patches.

Here are the 12 qualities of oil used for both food, medicine and massage. The US Labeling laws are not presently requiring this full level of disclosure on oil labels as does Europe.
1) Certified Organic Food Grade (Non-GMO, no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides)
Certified Organic Crude or Unrefined
Certified Organic Partially Refined
Certified Organic Refined
2) Organically grown (GMO in question, no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides)
Organic Crude or Unrefined
Organic Partially Refined
Organic Refined
3) Sustainably Grown (GMO in question, fertilizers, but no pesticides)Sustainably Grown Unrefined
Sustainably Grown Partially Refined
Sustainably Grown Refined
4) Commercially Grown (has pesticides, fertilizers and are GMO)Conventionally Grown Unrefined
Conventionally Grown Partially Refined

Certified Organic oils are many times refined! How did we find out this information? We called the refineries ourselves!

We also questioned well known organic companies producing foods and oils and found that they used organic partially processed oils. Many times, doing your own research is necessary when sketchy labeling leaves you with questions.

WARNING ABOUT NATURAL FLAVORS:
How many times have you seen a label that has naturals flavor as an ingredient? In calling the company that makes the item, which we did, we found out that is covers everything from MSG to annatto, both of which can cause migraines.

Partially refined oils have been deodorized, the single most damaging process in the oil refinement process! This process takes place at 450-500 degrees for at least 30-45 minutes, until all living essentials and colors are evaporated. (Convection ovens are used with extremely high steam heat.)

Companies do this for increased shelf-life resulting in better financial profits and to give oils a flat neutral oil base to suite their buyers’ specific needs. This processed and partially processed oil is used in cereals, baked goods and processed foods. Fully refined oils are used for cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, lotions, hormone and nicotine patches, some medicines and most massage oils.
