Welcome to
Hexane Free

This website was created to make visible what often goes unnoticed: the widespread use of hexane, a neurotoxic solvent, in the extraction of edible oils, fragrances, and other everyday ingredients. While still commonly used, this practice is increasingly being questioned by scientists, regulators, and industry professionals alike.

Here, you’ll find:

• Clear explanations of what hexane is, and how it’s produced
• Where and why it’s used in food and industrial processes
• What current science says about its health and environmental impacts
• What alternative technologies are emerging
• And how regulatory frameworks are beginning to shift

This site is not about fear—it’s about facts. It’s not about taking sides—it’s about understanding what’s changing, and how industries can adapt responsibly. We believe that better knowledge leads to better choices—for companies, for consumers, and for future generations.

Together, we can build a safer and more transparent future—starting with information, and moving towards to action.

We wish you an enlightening visit. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to continue the conversation.
