Almond oil, sweet
True 100% pure, cold‑pressed almond oil from Australia, derived from sweet almonds, has been cherished in natural skincare for generations. Unlike some almond oils that are blended with olus oil, this is a pure, high‑quality oil known for its mild aroma and smooth, lightweight texture. Traditionally used in beauty routines, its nutrient‑rich composition makes it a popular choice in formulations designed to support a hydrated and soft complexion.
Skincare Uses
Moisturisation and softening: Almond oil is rich in fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acids, and is often used to help moisturise and soften the skin, keeping it well‑hydrated.
Emollient properties: Its naturally emollient qualities contribute to improved skin texture, often leaving it feeling smooth and supple.
Skin barrier support: Almond oil is said to help maintain the skin’s natural barrier, protecting against daily environmental factors.
Antioxidant content: With a natural vitamin E content, it is commonly included in formulations designed to help support skin health.
Gentle and non‑comedogenic: Generally considered non‑comedogenic, almond oil is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
Haircare Uses
Nourishing and conditioning: While primarily used in skincare, almond oil is often found in haircare products where it helps condition and soften hair, contributing to a naturally smooth and manageable feel.
Additional Uses
Massage oil: Its lubricating properties make almond oil a favoured choice for massage, leaving the skin feeling nourished and soft.
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.
