The term "cosmetic grade" in an item's description in our web store means that the item is a blend.  These blends are carefully formulated to produce the same fatty acid profile, INS, HLB, and SAP values.  The cosmetic blends perform identically to the food grade versions of the oil in any cosmetic application.  These blends are made from high quality, expeller-pressed refined oils.  They are considered non-allergenic since refined oils contain no protein.  Soaper's Choice has offered these cosmetic blends for many years with positive results for our customers.
