Cold Pressed Oils: The New Beauty Trend
What oil you put in your food is just as important as what oil you put on your skin. Just like organic oils enrich your food, cold-pressed oils also take care of skin and hair health. The concept of cold-pressed oils isn’t new but it has recently taken over both wellness and beauty industries by storm. Different specifications, like antimicrobial, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory, of these oils are expected to increase their demand over the anticipated years, thus stimulating the market growth. The global cosmetic oil market size was valued at USD 50.58 billion in 2018 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.2% from 2019 to 2025.
What Is Cold Pressed Oil?
The cold pressing is a method to extract oils from the seeds of plants and their fruits, such as sesame seed, sunflower seeds, hazelnut, coconut or shea nut without using heat to extract, which may impair the oil’s taste and nutritional qualities. It involves grinding the seeds into a paste and applying force with a mechanical press to separate the oil from the pulp.
Why You Should Start Using Cold Pressed Oil?
A lot has been told and written about the numerous advantages of using cold pressed oils. Cold-pressed oils provide nature’s powerful antioxidants that help prevent free radical damage to the skin and other signs of premature aging. Vegetable oils, one of the joker products of skin care, strengthen and restructure the skin with their intense and natural ingredients. According to the skin experts, cold pressed oils may be applied as toner and moisturizer. They also can be used as hair mask, which provide the best solution to frizzy hair. Vitamins, aroma ingredients and nourishing agents of cold pressed oils are the best to use on the face and neck. Cosmetic professionals propose that cold pressed oil mixed with foundation cream may be applied as a base during make-up.
For example, Hazelnut oil is applied as a moisturizer for its ability to diffuse the skin to help to head off and soothe skin conditions such as dryness and irritation. High in Vitamin E, hazelnut oil is known for its diverse qualities. It is great for oily skin as it is quickly absorbed by the skin and does not leave a greasy residue.
Another example, shea nut oil is widely used for moisturizing and softening skin and hair which is rich with Vitamin E, fatty acids and minerals. Shea nut oil is extracted from the nuts of the shea tree, which is known as “women’s gold” because of its golden color and also it provides income to women in East to West Africa. The nuts are cold pressed to create shea butter; the oil is produced as a by-product.
