User questions & answers

Question:	How often do you need to use it? Is there direction on how to use it to grow thicker hair
Answer:	Thank you for your question! For best results with keeping hair healthy, we would recommend to use it at least once a week as a hair treatment. Many people saturate the scalp and ends of hair and leave in for 1-2 hours, or overnight. Following this treatment, wash normally. Please note, Castor Oil has a naturally viscous consistency, so some people like to dilute it with a lighter oil such as our Almond Oil or Coconut Oil. Before beginning any new hair/scalp treatment, always perform a patch test before use. We hope this helps! Please contact us directly if you have any further questions. 🙂
Question:	can you use it on eyes
Answer:	The label says LUSH-LOOKING EYELASHES AND BROWS - Discover how easy it is to get fuller-looking eye lashes and brows, the natural way.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the taste similar to the palm oil sold in African Stores
Answer:	My experience with the Nutiva Red Palm Oil is that it far surpasses the quality of what is generally sold in the stores. First, it is in glass jars. The smell and taste is very subtle, light and has a hint of sweetness. When I have purchased Red Palm oil from local stores, the packaging was plastic and the taste and smell of the oil was overpowering. Sometimes I wondered if the product was spoiled due to rancidity. I highly recommend the Nutiva. If you try it, I hope you are pleased.
Question:	Can this be used in Cold Process soap
Answer:	I have used this in cold & hot process soaps. It does turn the soap yellow/orange, but it is beautiful! I would not recommend using this for more than 10-15% of your total oils. In smaller percentages, it does not dye the skin.
Question:	Is it 100% virgin red oil
Answer:	Hi Breanna,Our red palm oil is 100 % cold pressed, filtered and processed without any chemicals or industrial refining process. Also our processing keeps all nutritional aspects intact. There is no set standards for virgin palm oil. Normally term "virgin oil' used for cold pressed oils which are processed without any industrial refining/chemicals keeping nutrition aspects intact. We hope this helps!Thank you, The Nutiva Team
Question:	does this come in a glass jar
Answer:	.yes, this come in a glass jar

User questions & answers

Question:	The container seems small for one gallon (height = 8.1"). Will one gallon of liquid fit in the empty container
Answer:	I've not tried to to add liquid to an empty container, but I'm pleased with the size and the contents. I believe it is a gallon container.

About the Brand

Nutiva began in 1999 as an idea in the mind of John W. Roulac, the author of four books on home composting and industrial hemp. Nutiva is the third successful business John has founded since jump-starting the modern home-composting movement in the early 1990s with his best-selling book, Backyard Composting. That book has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

Nutiva is an innovative leader in the health food industry. Since 1999, we have operated as a values-driven company dedicated to nourishing people and planet.

We're building a business characterized by high standards in all aspects of our company, from the organic farms that grow our foods, through the production, packaging, and transportation of our products, to the Nutiva associates who communicate with our retailers and the people who enjoy our products.

Our watchwords--nutritious superfoods, healthier people, and a sustainable planet--express our commitment to move beyond conventional food industry practices to embrace a bigger picture that supports the long-term well-being of humanity as a whole.

Nutiva's purpose is to produce the highest-quality organic superfoods, providing superior nutritional value to our customers while supporting sustainable agricultural practices and a fair return to the farmers on whom we depend. We donate 1% of our sales to groups that promote sustainable agriculture.

We educate people worldwide on current developments in nutritional science, organic farming, green energy, and fair trade practices within the global economy.

At Nutiva, we continually innovate so that we can better contribute to the health and happiness of our customers as well as the sustainability of our planet.

Hemp was cultivated in China more than 6,000 years ago, from a wild plant that grew in central Asia.

A Nutritional Powerhouse

Hempseed is considered by leading researchers and medical doctors to be one of the most nutritious food sources on the planet. Shelled hempseed is packed with 33% pure digestible protein and is rich in iron and vitamin E as well as omega-3 and GLA. A recent report funded by the Canadian government states that hemp protein comprises 66% high-quality edistin protein, and that hempseed contains the highest percentage of this of any plant source. Unlike soy, hemp is not genetically modified, and it doesn't contain the anti-nutritional qualities commonly found in soy.

Got Your EFAs today?

Because the human body produces no Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), it is important that EFAs be consumed on a regular basis. It is estimated that more than 90% of Americans take in too little of one of the most important EFAs--omega-3--which is found in flax, walnuts, deep-water fish, and hempseeds. EFAs are the "good fats" that doctors recommend as part of a healthy, balanced diet. The quality of omega-3 is vital, and can be diminished by oxygen, heat, and light. Thus consume the freshest seeds possible and store them in a dark, cold environment such as a refrigerator. Nutiva obtains its seeds exclusively from Canada, and we date all our products. Great nutrition never tasted so good.

Question:	So if we order this, 15-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 2), we're actually getting 30 ounces total for this price
Answer:	So 15 x 2 = 30! Who knew?
Question:	are the plastic jars BPA & phlalate free? what is the recycle number on plastic jar? Please answer thank you
Answer:	I don't find a recycle number. No numbers except on the bar code . The contents are manufactured for Nutiva in Oxford, CA and is a product of the Philippines. The jar bottom has a triangle with a number 2 in the middle, with the word hope underneath. To the left of the triangle and the word 'hope' is the number 4. Under that is what appears to be a letter 'C' back to back with another one. Sorry I can't help you more.
Question:	I order this coconut oil and the old container says *extra virgin*,now they sent me a new style container & it says *virgin* is it the same
Answer:	Directly from Nutiva, included on this page: “ Please note that there is NO difference between Virgin and Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil. We previously used the term "extra-virgin" to emphasize our commitment to quality, however, as a leader in coconut oil, Nutiva is committed to complying with global regulations that do not allow the term "extra-virgin" in regard to coconut. When you see the term Virgin on our packaging, rest assured that the product is still the highest quality and has not changed.” Simply complying with global regulations in verbiage, not in product or processing.

Even if these companies thought they were sourcing coconuts from ethical sources, who really knows how much they oversee the actual harvest. If the coconut industry is anything like the shrimp industry, there is so much product co-mingled with product from other sources that there's really no way to tell if human trafficking was involved in the shrimp one purchases, despite company assurances. Same with Amazon and how they source certain products from various vendors (some of which are counterfeits), all fulfilled by Amazon, and they all go into the same bin at the distribution centers.
Question:	is this fractionated coconut oil? I need it to stay solid below 74 degrees
Answer:	The oil is solid below 74 degrees.
Question:	Does refined coconut oil have the same antibacterial properties as the unrefined
Answer:	Both refined and unrefined coconut oil contain the same amount of the antibacterial benefits of the fatty acid, lauric acid. However, some of the benefits of the phytonutrients and the polyphenols (antioxidant properties) are lost during the refining process.
Question:	For the manufacturer - why is this described as non-gmo? There are no gmo coconuts, so this statement is misleading
Answer:	Actually.... there ARE GMO coconuts (see article): https://www.just-food.com/news/gmo-coconut-oil-developed-to-boost-exports_id89589.aspx Maybe you should consider doing your own research before lending misleading information and accusing someone else of doing the same. Just some food for thought.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with a scooper
Answer:	No scooper. I use a regular measuring spoon. I highly recommend Prepworks by Progressive Magnetic Measuring Spoons, Stainless Steel - Set of 5. We have had these for years. They still look new, they stay together and don't get lost plus you have 2 sides to each one. Comes in very handy when making your Smoothie or drink. I am Cacao powder etc. etc.. & blend with this Hemp. To me it is like a healthy shake.
Question:	it says the ingredient is 100 hemp but then in the description, says there is fiber added? does anyone know which is true
Answer:	Hi Jeffrey. Good Question: The correct answer is that in this blend NUTIVA sifts more NATURAL fiber from the hemp seeds no other ingredients are added into the mix, which changes the ratios of the protein to account for the added fiber (12g of fiber and 11g of protein per serving , whereas the regular Hemp Protein blend is (9g of fiber and 15g of protein). Hope this clarifies confusion.
Question:	What is the difference between the hemp protein and shelled hemp seeds
Answer:	Nutiva's organic hemp protein powders are made with whole, raw hemp seeds that have had the oil expeller pressed from them. This process removes about 90% of the oil content out of the seeds. The resulting seed cake is then cold milled and sifted to varying degrees to make hemp protein powder with the two different levels of fiber and protein, the Organic Hemp Protein 15g and Organic Hemp Protein Hi Fiber. We are committed to producing the highest quality products and encourage you to contact us directly for any questions or concerns you have by emailing us at [email protected]. Thank you, The Nutiva Team.
Question:	Is this a fine powder? Or the parts of the hemp that don't break down so well? Does it blend completely into smoothies
Answer:	Yes, it's a very fine powder. Yes, it blends just fine into smoothies -- but it does NOT dissolve in fluid. I've used it for years in green smoothies, and it works great. Almond milk, ice cubes, hemp protein, almond butter, banana, greens, blend on high for 60 seconds, and you've got a complete meal. It'll never taste as good as a pizza, but it'll fill you up and make you healthier.

User questions & answers

Question:	Any idea of the CBD - Cannabidiol content in this? I see the small 1 oz. bottles of CBD which are apparently a high concentration are a bit expensive
Answer:	This is cooking oil. If you’re in search of true CBD Oil, I found a product for my mom from C4 Healthlabs. They had this article on their website that explained the difference between CBD oil and Hemp oil. I liked how transparent they are about what’s actually in the bottle, and what’s in the bottle is “ultra-pure, organic, full spectrum hemp extract CBD oil in organic MCT oil”. I got my mom the 1000 mg CBD oil, but they also had 500 mg and 2000 mg.
Question:	Is it totally legal to buy it and ship it in a country where marihuana is illegal
Answer:	Be aware that this product is not CBD oil since it is made from the seeds of the hemp plant which is why they sell it as hemp oil. The seeds do not contain CBD. Amazon doesn’t allow the sale of CBD products even though it is Federally legal. The best CBD oil is made from the flowers of the hemp plant (not the stalks and certainly not the seeds). I had purchased Ananda Professional CBD oil at my local independent pharmacy which is the best quality CBD oil you can find. I was able to buy it online for a lower price at cbdhealingonline.com. Ananda markets two product lines, one for pharmacies and one for general retail. They are the same product and grown in Kentucky. They use the flowers not the stalks. I've spent hours if not days researching CBD oil products and found Ananda to be tops in terms of quality. They provide independent lab tests for each batch they produce unlike most brands. I think of CBD oil as a natural anti inflammatory and anti anxiety product. Good luck!
Question:	all the proven health benefits
Answer:	You will not find CBD oil on Amazon...it's prohibited for sale. See bullets 7a and 9i under "Drug products and ingredients" at the following link for Amazon's policy on products containing CBD and/or THC: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/200164490. 7. Drug listings must not be for controlled substances or products containing controlled substances, such as: a. Hemp products containing Resin or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) 9. Drug listings must comply with Amazon policies: i. Listings for products containing cannabidiol (CBD) are prohibited, including but not limited to: i. Full spectrum hemp oil ii. Rich hemp oil iii. Products that have been identified as containing CBD
Question:	Confused about THC content. I thought good hemp seed oil should have a min of 20% THC & better 50% but Nuttiva says no trace
Answer:	It appears that many folks are confused about the difference between THC and CBD. From what I have read cold pressed unrefined Hemp oil is CBD oil. Hemp oil must contain less than 3/10 of THC. Never the less, Hemp is a Cannabinoid and cousin to Cannabis. The main distinction is that trace amount of THC in Hemp, both Hemp and Marijuana contain CBD but because Hemp basically lacks THC and people cannot get a high from using it, it is legal in all states now. That is my understanding after reading many conflicting articles and taking to everyone I though might have useful knowledge on the subject. I have been using Hemp oil for the past month and a half and it helps me sleep better. I have not used this particular brand, but may try it in the future.

Answer:	There is no caffeine in this product. By far, the best protein drink I've tried. No artificial sweeteners, high protein, 21 grams, low fat 2.5 grams, and delicious chocolate flavor.
Question:	Does this contain high levels of lead, arsenic, etc
Answer:	Yes. This product has a CA Prop 65 warning because it contains levels of lead over the CA standard. The Nutiva site it says all it's samples all tested "between 0.6 -0.8ug/serving" and that other standards agencies use much higher limits. Taht may be but the CDC recommends people get no more than between 0.5ug PER DAY. Also, the"FDA has set an action level of 0.5 μg/dL for lead in in food products" and "The National Toxicology Program [2012] concludes that there is sufficient evidence for adverse health effects in children and adults at BLL
