Almond oil

Origin: Italy

 

Refined almond oil is pale yellow in color, almost odorless, and has excellent soothing properties. It contains a wealth of mineral substances, vitamins A, B, and E, as well as essential fatty acids. It is a versatile, richly nourishing oil for cleansing dry and sensitive skin and for massage, as it stimulates the regeneration process of dry and irritated skin, imparts a feeling of softness, and protects it against harmful environmental factors. It absorbs quickly into the skin, calming and nourishing it. Almond oil can be combined with any other skincare products.

Almond oil can be used to remove eye make-up. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. It is also suitable for caring for the pregnant belly.

Almond oil is highly recommended for caring for a baby's delicate skin. It is used for everyday care, cleansing, and protection of the skin of infants and children. Almond oil cleanses the skin and forms a thin film that prevents dryness and skin friction, making it especially recommended for use in skin folds.

 

Almond oil is an excellent base oil for preparing oil macerations of medicinal plants, especially when preparing macerations for sensitive, children's, or dry skin.

Tip:
When blending oils, always pay attention to:
• comedogenicity (if the product is for the face)
• shelf life of the individual oils (the shortest shelf life determines the shelf life of the entire blend)
• skin type and product goal
