Method of Processing
The cosmetic oils category includes vegetable oils pressed from seeds, kernels and fruits, which form the basis of the fatty phase in natural cosmetics. They are a key ingredient in the formulation of creams, serums, balms, massage oils and hair care. They nourish and soften the skin and promote its natural regeneration.
You will find a wide range of oils - from the classics such as almond, jojoba, argan or grapeseed, to the exotic such as apricot, rosehip or raspberry. Each of them has specific properties, fatty acid and vitamin content that are suitable for a different skin type or purpose of use. The differences between the different types lie mainly in the way they are processed, the composition of the fatty acids and their oxidative stability.
The vegetable oils from Handymade.sk come from proven sources, are cold-pressed and suitable for professional and home cosmetic production. Their quality, purity and natural composition guarantee their effectiveness even in the most demanding formulations.

Virgin oils (cold pressed) are obtained by mechanical pressing without the use of heat or chemicals, thus retaining maximum nutrients, vitamins and natural flavor. Unrefined oils are fresher and have a more distinctive colour and aroma. Refined oils are purified, have a longer shelf life and a neutral aroma - suitable for hypoallergenic beauty products and perfumed formulations.
For dry skin, thicker oils (avocado, argan, macadamia) are suitable, for oily and acneic skin, light oils with a high linoleic acid content (grapeseed, raspberry, hemp). For mature skin, regenerative oils with antioxidants (rosehip, marula, sea buckthorn) are recommended.
Oil forms the fatty phase of emulsions, softens the texture and binds active ingredients. It is used in concentrations of 5-50% depending on the type of product - less in serums, more in butters and body creams. It is recommended to combine different types of oils for a balanced fatty acid profile.
