Almond Oil, Sweet

Quantity:

Pure, unrefined expeller-pressed Sweet Almond oil - this is a richer Almond than is commonly found, with a darker color and richer aroma (though still mild, and in no way overpowering to essential oils). Sweet Almond is one of the most useful, practical, and commonly used oils. It is great for all skin types as an acting emollient and is best known for its ability to soften, soothe, and re-condition the skin. It is truly marvelous as a carrier oil and is equally superb for addition to body care products. Natural expeller pressed oil from raw almond kernels is exceptionally rich in fatty acids.

We recommend Sweet Almond Oil for most aromatherapy applications. Skin reactions are rare, and are likely limited to those with an allergy to almonds.

An organic version will be available soon, though the almonds themselves being enclosed in a fruit and shell are not exposed to airborn chemicals. We have faith in the source of this oil that it is of the highest quality and utmost purity. We're sure you'll like it in your beauty, bath, and massage blends!
