Almond
When the dried kernels of the almond tree are cold pressed, it produces a medium-weight oil that contains oleic and linoleic acid, proteins and Vitamin D. Almond oil is an emollient and helps soften skin, making it excellent for the skin, lips and nails.
This nut isn’t just a snack; it’s also an ancient ingredient used for skin care therapy. That’s because the oil in almonds is rich in nutrients and antioxidants that:
- Moisturize dry skin
- Improve the appearance of skin tone
- Smooth and rejuvenate skin
We use sweet almond oil in many of our creams and lotions.
