Frequently asked questions
What is refined maize seed oil?
Corn oil pressed from the germ of maize (Zea mays) and refined to a pale, light, low-odour oil. In cosmetics it works as an economical emollient, naturally rich in linoleic acid.
What is corn oil used for in cosmetics?
It is a cost-effective carrier for massage oils, lotions, creams and hair oils, and is used in soap making as part of the soft-oil blend.
Why choose a refined grade?
Refining gives a pale colour, mild odour and consistent quality batch to batch, so it suits fragranced products and larger production runs.
What pack sizes are available?
Available in 1 kg and 5 kg, all priced online. For regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
