About this product
So many quiet rituals begin with a bottle like this: a slow hand massage at the end of the day, a little oil smoothed over dry skin after a bath, a soft moment at the changing table. Sweet almond oil is the dependable foundation beneath them all.
It comes from Prunus amygdalus var. dulcis, is high in oleic acid and rich in protein, and contains glucosides, minerals and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. It is helpful to all skin types and belongs in every base oil toolkit for dry skin. Very lubricating but not penetrating, it makes a fine massage oil and a protectant for the skin, and you can use it at full strength.
Almond oil can go rancid fairly quickly, though its vitamin E helps it keep reasonably well. Blend it with fractionated coconut oil to extend its shelf life and help it wash out more easily.
