Our African Fixed Oils are imported into the United States fair trade from several African Nations. Many of them are indigenous to Africa and not available in this country. Due to daily market changing conditions we may need to adjust our prices. As a result our prices may seem higher than locally produced oils. We watch global market conditions to ensure high quality at the lowest possible prices. These nonvolatile cold pressed oils are usually unscented. Many use our plant based oils when creating Aromatherapy Blends, for rehydration when used in your bath water. Store your oils in a cool refrigerator for longer life span.

What Are Fixed Oils? Fixed Oils are nonvolatile oils that are usually unscented triglycerides produced from the different fatty acids and glycerin in animals, plants and trees . They are produced in all parts of the world and have many therapeutic and traditional remedies. Many people use Fixed Oils in a variety of ways such as: Vegetable Oils for cooking; Carrier Oils for diluting Essential Oils, Bathing in the bath tub and in blending Aromatherapy. Fixed oils, because of their high fat content, are used to create handmade soaps and body washes. Natural oils used in cosmetics should be cold pressed to yield the added benefits of valuable substances like vitamins and unsaturated oils. Unsaponifiables contained in natural oils consist of group compounds called plant steroids or sterolins. They have positive attributes especially useful for skincare. Among the most important is their ability to soften the skin, have a superior moisturizing effect on the upper layer of skin and have a positive effect in the treatment of scars. The sterolins in Avocado Oil have been found to help diminish age spots. The highest content of these substances can be found in Shea Butter and the smallest amount in Peanut Oil.
