“There is no better time than now<br />

to start living<br />

healthy life”<br />

Human health is influenced primarily by lifestyle and eating habits. We can improve our odds for a long and healthy<br />

life by strengthening our body, supplying it enough fuel, essential elements, to get through the day without loading up<br />

on extra calories. Also the demand for gourmet cuisine witnesses a major upswing at a global level with the growing<br />

popularity of plant oils, playing an important role in our dining, as a medium for cooking. Plant oils represent the most<br />

concentrated form of the individual characteristics of the plant; its essence. They are gifts which are given to us by our<br />

Mother Nature. However they all are not equally healthy just because they come from plants. We took into account<br />

the facts mentioned above when preparing this collection of edible and cosmetic plant oils.<br />

We are committed and motivated to deliver only the highest quality unrefined cold-pressed and infused plant oils.<br />

Cold-pressed oils are obtained only by mechanical pressing of seeds, kernels or nuts at the maximum temperature of<br />

37 °C. The process assures the oils retain all the vitamins and the minerals of the plant in its bioactive composition<br />

like a natural lipids of the human body. Hence, the majority of our cold-pressed oils are pumped by vitamin E and<br />

having a right balance of Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9 essential fatty acids.<br />

Making infused oils is a process of transferring flavour and scent by infusing herbs, nuts, seeds, kernels into a carrier<br />

oil such as sunflower (Helianthus annuus) or olive (Olea europea) oil. The infused oil can be used to add flavour to<br />

cooking oils as well as used in aromatherapy, massage or as beauty products like soaps and lotions.<br />

In order to provide the highest quality products we put an exceptional dedication and care to import, store and<br />

distribute the oils to our customers. The oils are sold in dark-glass bottles keeping their taste and fragrance.<br />

We are convinced that our products will be joy to use, as each of them provides a distinct flavour and a characteristic<br />

nutritional profile. We're looking forward to become a key supplier of plant oils to all customers across all of Ireland<br />

hoping our oils will become an essential ingredient for your cuisine helping you to create better lifestyle and healthier<br />

eating habits.<br />

Healthy oils for healthy living


Usage Of Cold-pressed Plant Oils<br />

Internal Use<br />

The use of cold-pressed oils is much alike. Usually, it is recommended one teaspoon 1 to 3 times a day. However, cooking is the<br />

primary internal use for cold-pressed oils. The majority of the cold-pressed oils are used for flavour in marinades, salad dressings<br />

and baked goods. Just very few of them are suitable for high-heat roasting.<br />

External Use<br />

Massage or rub a small amount of the oil into the skin of your face, body or hair. You can dilute thicker oils with thinner ones if<br />

needed. Typically, the oils do not leave a grease film and are well-absorbed by the skin.<br />

Hair Treatment<br />

Rub the oil into the scalp and into the hair, then cover the hair with a towel and leave the oil film on for at least 20 minutes.<br />

Skin Treatment<br />

The properly selected oil helps to regenerate the skin, keeps its elasticity and renews its natural fatty filter. Some oils improve the<br />

condition for the people suffering from skin diseases such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, sunburns or premature ageing.<br />

Nail Treatment<br />

100% natural plants oils also help to strengthen nails. Rub a small amount of the oil into the skin around the nails. Also, you may<br />

try the whole-night treatment by applying a bigger amount of the oil and then covering the hands with lightweight fabric gloves to<br />

retain skin moisture.<br />

Teeth Care<br />

The plant oils may also help you with various teeth problems and aphthae (mouth ulcers) in your mouth. Just drip several drops of<br />

the oil on your finger and rub your teeth and gums for at least 5 minutes.<br />

Baby Skin Care<br />

Plants oils are also suitable as a baby skin care from the very first days of your baby's life. The oils do not cause allergies as do not<br />

contain preservatives or other unnatural substances. They are well absorbed, naturally protecting and hydrating the soft skin of<br />

your baby.<br />

The Oil Classification<br />

Mineral Oils<br />

Mineral oils are obtained from petroleum. These oils contain zero valuable substances. They are almost non-absorbable,<br />

remaining on the skin surface and clogging up the pores, leaving the skin greasy. The oils are not active.<br />

Refined Oils<br />

The raw materials are processed at high temperatures around 90 degrees and then often chemically purified. Although they are<br />

used primarily in the food industry, these oils contain very small amount of vitamins, minerals and other bio-active substances<br />

due to the high temperatures used during the extraction and the purifying process.<br />

Cold-pressed (Virgin) Oils<br />

The oils are obtained only by mechanical pressing at the maximum temperature of 37°C. The cold-pressed oils retain all their<br />

flavour, aroma and nutritional value, making these oils great for cooking and skin care use. As they are bio-active, these oils are<br />

easily absorbed and leave the grease-free skin hydrated and flexible. The composition of the cold-pressed oil is very close to the<br />

natural lipids of a human body.
