Sweet almond oil is a versatile vegetable oil with skin and hair care benefits. As its name suggests, it is obtained from pressing ripe, dried sweet almond seeds.

It is rich in omega-9 fatty acids (such as oleic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (including linoleic acid). It also provides vitamin E. All these antioxidant and lipidic components provide the skin with a high level of nutrition, as well as a soothing, emollient and anti-inflammatory effect. Sensitive, dry, devitalised and prematurely ageing skin are good candidates to benefit from the cosmetic use of this oil.

It can be used pure or as part of a cosmetic product formulated with other ingredients. It has several functions: on the one hand, it is an excellent make-up remover for sensitive skin. It also helps to maintain hydration and soothe irritated skin, which is why we find it in many baby nappy creams. On the other hand, skin with roughness, excema or stretch marks will notice the softening effect of almond oil with regular use. On a sensory level, it provides very pleasant notes reminiscent of the Mediterranean countryside.

Its usefulness as an ingredient in hair cosmetics is also remarkable. It contributes to nourishing and repairing the hair, providing shine and softness. It is present in products for dry hair and hair damaged by external agents such as the sun or dyes. It is also interesting in make-up products, as it provides extra nourishment and care to the skin.

It is recommended to use each product according to the way of use recommended by the manufacturer.
