Almond Oil (Sweet)

Almond Oil (Sweet) refined - Prunus Dulcis

Country Of Origin: Italy

The almond tree originates from Asia and, today, is widely found in California and countries around the Mediterranean, such as Spain.

The oil is cold pressed, then refined from the kernels of sweet almond fruit and is one of the most popular base oils for use in cosmetics. The oil is rich in beta-sitosterols, alpha-tocopherols, oleic acid and linolenic acid (omega 6), as well as being rich in vitamins A, B1, B2 & B6 which combine to make a highly beneficial oil for use in skin care products.

It is particularly beneficial as a moisturiser for dry skin conditions & useful for itchy skin, eczema and psoriasis due to its emollient properties, but is also suitable for sensitive skin and for helping to reduce inflammation.

It is a light, softening oil that penetrates easily. It can be used neat as a skin moisturiser/conditioner or added to creams, lotions, massage bases & bars, ointments and it saponifies easily to produce a good lather.
