Sweet Almond Oil
Soothing Care for Skin & Hair
(Sweet) Almond Oil, Prunus dulcis, cold-pressed from the dried kernels of the almond tree, is a lightweight, deeply nourishing emollient that softens and conditions both skin and hair. Easily absorbed, it helps replenish moisture and supports the skin’s ability to retain hydration without leaving a greasy residue, leaving skin feeling silky and smooth.
Rich in monounsaturated fatty acids—mainly oleic and linoleic acids—along with vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and E, almond oil helps soothe dryness and calm irritation. For centuries, it has been used in both Chinese and Ayurvedic traditions to comfort rough, itchy, or sensitive skin and to promote a healthy, supple appearance.
Sweet almond oil is also a favorite among massage therapists because of its smooth texture. It allows hands to glide easily over the skin yet absorbs at a comfortable pace, providing both lubrication and nourishment during massage.
In hair care, almond oil helps soften and condition the hair shaft while adding moisture and shine. Its light texture hydrates the scalp without heaviness, helps reduce dryness and flakiness, and smooths the hair’s outer layer to improve manageability and reduce frizz. Regular use can leave hair feeling silky and looking more vibrant.
The fatty acids in almond oil may also help repair and protect the hair shaft from damage caused by heat or environmental stress. Over time, regular use can add natural shine and luster, leaving hair healthy, supple, and strong.
We use USDA Certified Organic cold-pressed almond oil extracted from the dried kernels of the Almond Tree. This unrefined oil has not been bleached or deodorized and retains its natural color, characteristic aroma, and nutritional benefits.
Allergy Note: Botanically, almonds are not nuts. They are actually the seed of a fruit from the almond tree. However, some people with nut allergies are sensitive to almonds. Also, many nuts are processed in shared facilities, and there is a risk of cross-contamination.
