Question

What is the difference between "Virgin" and "Refined" oils/butters? Are the following products from MySkinRecipes refined or unrefined?

  • Argan Oil (Organic - Virgin)
  • Shea Butter (Ultra Soft)

Answer

Product Refinement Status

  • Argan Oil (Organic - Virgin): This product is unrefined. The term "Virgin" indicates that the oil has not undergone refining processes.
  • Shea Butter (Ultra Soft): This product is likely refined. The description mentions special processing to achieve high purity and consistent texture, which is typical of refined butters. The staff also previously indicated that shea butter is refined.
