It is very penetrating, reputed to be more so than most carrier oils, and a superb emollient, nourishing for dry and dehydrated skin. Its moisturizing, softening nature makes it a valuable addition to blends for mature skin, to massage oils, and to handcrafted soap for mature or dry skin, where its unsaponifiable fractions help maintain suppleness.
