What It Does

Sweet Almond Oil is a fixed oil cold-pressed from the kernels of Prunus amygdalus dulcis, prized for its light texture and excellent skin compatibility. Rich in oleic acid (60-80%), linoleic acid (15-30%), and vitamin E, it absorbs moderately into skin without leaving a heavy residue, making it particularly popular in massage oils, facial serums, and baby care products. Formulators favor it for its mild, hypoallergenic nature, natural emolliency, and ability to enhance the spreadability of formulations while providing a subtle, pleasant nutty aroma.
