We do combine shipping, please email us for quotes. It is important to note that ABSOLUTELY NO SOLVENTS are used during the processing of our natural vegetable and fruit oils. Our production process begins by mechanically cold pressing the seeds or pulp of the vegetable or fruit which results in the “crude†form of the oil with the distinctive odor and color of the raw material retained. As the standards for cosmetic, soap, toiletry, and food applications fall in a very narrow range, it is necessary to “refine†the crude form of the oil in order to correct any undesirable qualities in color, odor, or the amount of polar impurities.
