Avocado oil, NZ
New Zealand-grown, extra virgin, cold‑pressed avocado oil is extracted from the pulp of ripe avocados and has been valued for centuries in natural beauty formulations for its rich, nourishing composition. Known for its high content of vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants, avocado oil is widely used in both traditional and modern skincare and haircare. Its smooth texture and excellent absorption properties make it a versatile ingredient in a variety of cosmetic applications.
Skincare Uses
Skin softening and moisturisation: The emollient properties of avocado oil are thought to help soften and smooth the skin's texture, reducing dryness and roughness while keeping the skin well-hydrated.
Nourishing and nutrient-rich: Packed with vitamins and essential nutrients, it is commonly used in skincare products designed to support a radiant complexion.
Easily absorbed: Despite its rich texture, avocado oil absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for moisturisers, serums, and creams.
Supports the skin barrier: Often included in formulations to help maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Gentle and soothing: Avocado oil is regarded as mild and conditioning, making it suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
Haircare Uses
Deeply conditioning: Commonly used in haircare formulations, avocado oil is often added to conditioners and masks to improve manageability and softness.
Nourishing for hair and scalp: Its natural fatty acid profile makes it a popular ingredient in scalp treatments, helping to promote a well-hydrated and balanced feel.
Frizz control and hydration: Due to its rich consistency, it is often used to help smooth frizz and add lasting moisture to dry or damaged hair.
Additional Uses
Massage and body oil: With its smooth texture and moisturising properties, avocado oil is frequently used in massage blends and body care formulations.
Cosmetic formulations: Ideal for use in natural skincare and haircare products, including serums, emulsions, and oil-based cleansers.
Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
