Olive Oil Purity
afternoon all, working on a project that is an olive oil/beeswax body salve and finding as it cools, it has a tendency to form olive “butter” crystals in the product. We validated by HPLC that these were indeed olive oil and not part of the beeswax. We are looking at going from a food-grade olive oil to a winterized version and maybe 2nd or 3rd pressings to get as many of the higher chain triglycerides out as possible to reduce the formation of these crystals. The crystals are not hard and liquefy immediately when rubbed on the skin but my client is wanting to get this product clear of the issue.
Any thoughts? Any recommendations on who would supply winterized olive oil here in the states?
Thanks,
