Sweet Almond Oil is one of the most useful, practical, and commonly used carrier oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient, known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. The oil is naturally expeller pressed from raw almond kernels and exceptionally rich in fatty acids.
Almond oil is by far the number one base oil for therapeutic massage. (We've actually spoken to massage school graduates who were unaware that other oils could be used!). Its texture and "glide" is just right for full-body massage techniques.
The oil is used as a base in many body care products, as it is considered a superior emolient (moisturizer), which softens the skin and enables it to hold more moisture. It is considered a "light weight" oil, rich in vitamins A and E, as well as essential fatty acids.
Almond makes a great choice when the carrier oil is doing just that: carrying the essential oil into the body. It is well tolerated, has little aroma of its own, and is relatively stable at room temperature -- meaning your blends can have a reasonable shelf life without concern of storage conditions or inclusion of additional antioxidants.
