Frequently asked questions
What is refined blackcurrant seed oil?
It is pressed from blackcurrant seeds (Ribes nigrum) and then refined (INCI: Ribes Nigrum Seed Oil). Blackcurrant seed oil is valued for its rare mix of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including GLA; refining gives a paler, milder-smelling oil.
Refined or cold pressed blackcurrant seed oil: which should I choose?
Choose refined for light-coloured or fragranced products where a neutral base matters. Choose the cold pressed grade for unrefined, natural positioning with more of the seed's colour and aroma.
Where is it from and is it food grade?
It is of Polish and Spanish origin and is suitable for food use, subject to the usual formulation considerations. Store it cool and away from light, as polyunsaturated oils oxidise faster than most.
What pack sizes are available?
From 100ml up to 5kg, all priced online.
