Sweet almond oil, certified organic
Organic, cold‑pressed almond oil, derived from sweet almonds, has been cherished in natural skincare for generations. Known for its pleasant, mild aroma and lightweight texture, this oil has traditionally been used in various beauty routines, where its nutrient‑rich composition supports a hydrated and smooth appearance.
Skincare Uses
Moisturisation and softening: Almond oil is rich in fatty acids, such as oleic and linoleic acids, and is often used to help moisturise and soften the skin, keeping it well‑hydrated.
Emollient properties: Its natural emollient qualities contribute to improved skin texture, often resulting in a smooth and supple feel.
Skin barrier support: Almond oil is said to support the skin’s natural barrier, helping to protect against daily environmental factors.
Antioxidant protection: With a natural vitamin E content, it is commonly included in formulations to help guard against oxidative stress.
Gentle and non‑comedogenic: Being generally considered non‑comedogenic, it is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Haircare Uses
Nourishing and conditioning: Although primarily used for skincare, almond oil is also often used in haircare products to help condition and soften hair, contributing to a naturally nourished look.
Additional Uses
Massage oil: Its lubricating properties make almond oil a favoured choice for massage, where it is said to promote relaxation and leave the skin feeling nourished.
Makeup remover: Almond oil is often used as a natural makeup remover, gently dissolving makeup without causing excessive dryness.
Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known nut allergies or skin sensitivities.
