Almond Sweet Oil ORGANIC

Organic Sweet Almond Carrier Oil is an excellent emollient and is known for its ability to soften and re-condition the skin. It is rich in proteins, Olein Glyceride Linoleic Acid and Vitamin D, and is considered extremely nourishing – particularly when used regularly. It can be expected to sooth dry skin and irritated areas. Massage therapists should note that it can stain sheets. Sweet Almond Carrier Oil has been used as an aromatic-bitter for anorexia, as a digestive tonic, to promote menstruation and to reduce fever and expel worms. It is also used by massage therapists. Almond oil (especially organic, cold-pressed sweet almond oil) is incredibly versatile here’s a detailed guide on its main uses:

1. Skincare

Moisturizer: Light, deeply hydrating, and absorbs well without clogging pores (non-comedogenic rating around 2).

Anti-aging: Its Vitamin E content helps reduce fine lines and protect skin from oxidative stress.

Dark circles: Often dabbed lightly under the eyes to soften dark circles and puffiness.

Cleansing oil: Dissolves makeup and dirt gently when used for oil cleansing.

Soothing sensitive skin: Helps calm eczema, psoriasis, and dry, itchy skin.

Massage oil: Popular carrier oil in professional massages because it glides easily and nourishes the skin.

2. Haircare

Scalp treatment: Moisturizes dry scalp and can help reduce dandruff.

Hair strengthener: Rich in proteins and Vitamin E, it strengthens hair strands and adds shine.

Frizz control: A few drops on damp hair smooths frizz and split ends naturally.

3. Baby Care

Baby massage oil: Gentle enough for newborns; softens skin and can soothe diaper rash.

Cradle cap treatment: Softens the flaky patches on baby scalps.

4. Health and Dietary (only if labeled Food-Grade)

Cooking oil substitute: Light almond oil (not cosmetic grade) is used for baking, dressings, or drizzling over foods.

Mild laxative: Traditionally used for its gentle laxative effect (though less common today).

5. Aromatherapy & DIY Products

Carrier oil for essential oils: Excellent base for diluting strong essential oils in blends.

Natural perfumes: Almond oil holds fragrance without overpowering the scent.

DIY salves, balms, and lotions: A staple in natural skincare formulations.

Quick Use Tip:

For a simple overnight hand repair treatment, massage a few drops of almond oil into your hands and cuticles and wear cotton gloves to lock in moisture while you sleep!
