The questions our customers ask before their first bulk order.
What's the difference between virgin, refined and cold-pressed?
Cold-pressed and virgin oils keep more of the plant's colour, scent and unsaponifiables, which makes them the better choice for leave-on skin and hair products. Refined oils are filtered for a lighter colour, neutral scent and longer shelf life — the safer pick for soap, candles and anything you intend to scent yourself. Expeller-pressed sits between the two: mechanically pressed with no solvents, but heat is generated in the process.
Which oils should I start with for soap making?
Refined avocado, apricot kernel and babassu cover most cold-process recipes — a soft oil, a light conditioning oil and a hard oil for bar firmness. Babassu is our recommended palm alternative.
Do you supply certificates of analysis and lot traceability?
Yes. Every shipment lists its lot number on the invoice, and a COA — plus a GC/MS report where applicable — is available on request for any lot. Our USDA Organic handler certificate is renewed annually and linked in the footer.
How do I order 55-gallon drums or pallets?
Drums and pallet quantities are quoted directly so freight can be priced properly. Call (503) 653-1155 or email us with the ingredient, the quantity and your delivery ZIP, and we will come back within one business day.
Can I get samples before committing to bulk?
Almost everything is stocked in a 4 oz size for exactly this reason. Order the small size, test your formula, then scale to gallons or drums — on the same lot wherever stock allows.
