Sweet Almond Oil

Sweet Almond Oil: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Our sweet almond oil is 100% pure and is a gentle, nutrient rich carrier oil that is perfect for skin, hair and body.

It is often used as a simple massage oil as it is readily absorbed and moisturises skin without clogging pores. It is also often used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy.

Highly emolliating with the anti inflammatory properties of oleic acid; sweet almond oil particularly lends itself to dry, mature, irritated or sore skin where it can provide superb nourishing, soothing and hydration properties.

Widely used in cosmetic product preparations, it is very popular in anhydrous balms and emulsified lotions including creams for skin and body. It is widely used as a hot oil treatment for hair.

This oil is also a simple, natural  and effective make up remover. Perfect for teenagers and anyone looking for a non-comedogenic (less likely to clog pores) product.

We have put together this beautiful and simple silky body oil recipe to share.
