It may well not be.  To obtain,  say, the oil from a seed, there needs to be an extraction process.  Think of your Olive Oil as an example. If you buy a cold-pressed version to cook with, this means it&#8217;s been &#8216;pressed out&#8217; using no heat, no <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/that-bad-girl-sexy-strawberry-we-love\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">chemicals<\/a>, and by doing so has kept all the nutrients.  However, if it&#8217;s not cold pressed, the precious oil you want could have been gotten using some rather ugly chemicals.  Meet Hexane, a petrochemical you actually really don&#8217;t want to meet.

wp-block-paragraph\">Hexane is&nbsp;a colourless, volatile liquid that is used as a common solvent for extracting oils from seeds and vegetables.&nbsp;It is found in gasoline, glue, and other industrial products.&nbsp;Now you don&#8217;t want to be getting close up and personal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

products containing Hexane without having even heard of it or being aware of the health risks. It is easily inhaled and absorbed through the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-76cd221ebb6f4afaf6b9ec37e8795334 wp-block-paragraph\">In the beauty industry,  brands use Hexane to extract oils such as Castor oil, <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/face-the-food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Almond oil<\/a>, and Argan oil. These oils are used for hair and skin. They can also be added to haircare and skincare products like lotions, shampoos, and conditioners. It is also used to extract precious oils for perfumery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b3fb958cbeba36210921d9c4a0388fe7 wp-block-paragraph\">But here is the thing, even if you check out the ingredients on the products you buy, you are very unlikely to see the word Hexane written.  But there are ways to think outside the box.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nyita-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended-2-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nyita-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended-2-1.jpg?resize=580%2C733&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nyita-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended-2-1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nyita-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended-2-1.jpg?resize=237%2C300&amp;ssl=1 237w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Nyita-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended-2-1.jpg?resize=768%2C971&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20d2a0e1e3ef2f7aa0f6b1c431c3375f wp-block-paragraph\">Rebecca Jaquest started her luxury, super-clean and ethical fragrance and Skincare house <a href=\"https:\/\/nyitacollection.com\/\">Nyita.<\/a>  Without nasties like preservatives, or synthetic fragrances, and even using oils that do not involve using the whole plant.  The worst thing she came across in her research was Hexane.  Here she tells us her story.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-da32db0a5d9c3983464d5e100a5687bb wp-block-paragraph\"> &#8220;One of the reasons why I started this <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/embark-on-a-journey-with-bentley-become-luxury-mens-scent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">journey<\/a> was because when I was pregnant with my first child,  I started looking at ingredients, because before I just bought stuff and just never thought about what was in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5a78e4fe7b6bda49bbb7f18d5ac1e06e wp-block-paragraph\">I found so much that I was shocked about, but I think the thing that really was the biggest shock for me is that the ingredients which are listed as  100% natural are being extracted with something called Hexane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-004f3dd4ff7e1f140be6f0f0e7cddf24 wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a really toxic petrochemical; it&#8217;s a distillation from crude oil. If it gets on the workers, they have to be so careful because it&#8217;s really toxic. So many natural products will have things extracted from them with Hexane, yet will still be listed as 100% natural.  However, shockingly, there&#8217;s a legal limit on the amount of Hexane residue that&#8217;s allowed to remain on the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-66342e6d3cc6ee87bc0ad89140869460 wp-block-paragraph\">For me, I didn&#8217;t want anything in my product like that, but even if you&#8217;re not worried about Hexane being in the products you use,  it is still really bad because it&#8217;s a distillation from crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-Cleaner-Burning-Candle-with-packaging.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-Cleaner-Burning-Candle-with-packaging.jpg?resize=512%2C341&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-Cleaner-Burning-Candle-with-packaging.jpg?w=512&amp;ssl=1 512w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-Cleaner-Burning-Candle-with-packaging.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c3df16189cbeb2e7486f3bbf387590fa wp-block-paragraph\">Now, just for a little fact, the beauty industry uses Olympic-sized swimming pools of Hexane (altogether it is estimated at around&nbsp;1.1 million tonnes per year across industries), and the reason why it is used is because it&#8217;s so much cheaper to extract with Hexane than other forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f9a686c9ca207b882e620563b54f21d7 wp-block-paragraph\">There are some products, for example, Jasmine, which is too delicate to steam distil, which is why pretty much all of it is solvent extracted with Hexane. In fact, a lot of the absolutes are extracted this way.  When as a producer you get the material safety data on the products for skincare, you can see where the how it&#8217;s extracted, but for the consumer, there is nothing; they can&#8217;t see at all how that&#8217;s ingredients being extracted.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?resize=580%2C580&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NYITA-As-Nataurally-Beautiful-as-Nature-Intended.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f565b5ca1a2febe818603a4ff15abf8a wp-block-paragraph\"><br \/>And as I say, they are listing that as 100% natural, that&#8217;s not 100% natural if you&#8217;re extracting with Hexane.

Most of the farmers are single mothers or women who have suffered from guerrilla war violence.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/jasmin_farmer_pixcut.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"578\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/jasmin_farmer_pixcut.png?resize=578%2C520&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/jasmin_farmer_pixcut.png?w=578&amp;ssl=1 578w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/jasmin_farmer_pixcut.png?resize=300%2C270&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1617e1cea6ba0536ff57d01a5524c324 wp-block-paragraph\">One of our community Jasmine farmers in Colombia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1fd91d599e87555c51dbcd1a4e5fbca9 wp-block-paragraph\">And of course, mass farming is another massive problem and is not good for the environment. So when we source from these small community farms that are also organic, that is really another way we help minimise environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-971f37a3f4ac1855905a6e04c625aed0 wp-block-paragraph\">When ingredients are bought from a single crop farm,  it means that they churn up everything, doing so much damage topsoil.  Topsoil takes between 200 and 1000 years per inch to be replaced and is damaged when you take out the whole plant, including the roots so oils which smell amazing,  like Vetiver, are really damaging for the topsoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-92190539c5c175e791b2ef3b1b81da8a wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, we only use the fruits, the leaves, the flowers the seeds. <br \/>So we just focus on those that have the minimum impact and don&#8217;t damage the topsoil.  On top of that, we don&#8217;t use any oils that involve cutting down trees either, for that same reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-568120bce60c706b09a10d19409420ef wp-block-paragraph\">Like say, Pettigrain, which is the leaves and twigs of the Bitter Orange Tree.  It is gorgeous, but again, we have to be so careful where we harvest it. A lot of the trees at  Pettigrain farms are just like little stumps because they&#8217;ve just hacked,  hacked and hacked away at them. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Citrus_aurantium.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"387\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Citrus_aurantium.jpg?resize=580%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-174288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Citrus_aurantium.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Citrus_aurantium.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Citrus_aurantium.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6ed28a88fafe65b7d76199b61800672c wp-block-paragraph\">Then there is the conversation about synthetics.   We don&#8217;t use synthetics because 95% of them are petrochemicals. It is depressing, as so much of it comes down to money.   I know it&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/living-designs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minefield<\/a>, but I think for us, we are doing our best. <br \/><br \/>It&#8217;s just a choice. So we&#8217;re just going to give people a choice, if they are concerned about these things then they can come to us.  It&#8217;s really important where we are because we&#8217;re tiny and I like our practice it makes me proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-989962be05429a0e62ea61a2f48070f9 wp-block-paragraph\">We source the highest grade, cold-pressed, unrefined and 100% certified organic oils.
