Sweet Almond Whole Oil

🌸 Sweet Almond Oil BIO (1st Cold Press) – Prunus amygdalus dulcis

EXTRA Sweet Almond Oil is a richer, more nourishing version of traditional almond oil. Obtained through first cold pressing and minimally filtered, it retains a higher concentration of its natural compounds. As a result, it has a thicker texture, darker color, and more intense aroma — all signs of its purity and nutrient density.

🌿 Main Characteristics

• Less filtered: preserves natural components that enhance the oil’s nutrition and texture.
• Higher viscosity: denser and thicker, ideal for prolonged massages and intensive hydration.
• Darker color: amber tone that reflects its high concentration of natural compounds.
• More pronounced aroma: richer and slightly earthy compared to regular almond oil.
• Higher acidity: less stable for complex cosmetic formulations but perfect for direct skin and hair use.

💧 Properties and Benefits

• Intensive moisturizer: deeply penetrates the skin, offering long-lasting hydration.
• Emollient and softening: forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture and smooths rough areas.
• Antioxidant: rich in vitamin E, helps fight free radicals and prevent premature aging.
• Soothing and regenerating: ideal for irritated, dry, or damaged skin, relieving itching and redness.
• Hair nourishment: restores dry, brittle hair, adding shine and softness.

🧴 Common Uses

• Night treatment: perfect as a facial or body oil at night due to its slow absorption.
• Deep massages: rich texture makes it ideal for relaxing or therapeutic massages.
• Hair masks: an excellent pre-wash treatment for dry or damaged hair.
