Almond Oil
Also known as Sweet Almond Oil, it had been used extensively for its health benefits and as a beauty aid much before science caught up with the goodness of this seed oil. Extracted from the seeds of almonds, this mild and soothing oil has many benefits for both the skin and hair. High in Oleic Acid, proteins, and Vitamin A, B and E, it provides excellent conditioning and moisturizing properties without adding oily effect.
For Skin: Almond Oil is a lightweight and non-fragrant oil which gets absorbed into the skin very quickly due to the fact its chemical structure is very similar to the outer lipid layers of the skin. Particularly rich in unsaturated fats, Sweet Almond Oil is ideal to nourish dry skin and protect it from dehydration. Thanks to the high amount of the Vitamin E, it protects skin from UV radiation, and helps skin look smooth, softer & healthier. The fatty acids help retaining moisture and can restore chapped and irritated skin. Hence, it is ideal for sensitive, damaged & dry skin.
For Hair: Almond Oil works wonderfully in treating dry hair making it strong, shiny, and soft. As a powerful emollient, this fantastic oil makes it feel smoother to the touch and gives it a softer texture over time. Containing high amounts of the well-known natural antioxidant Vitamin E, it protects hair from the environmental stress and makes it look healthier and younger. Additionally, fatty acids omega 9, 6 and 3 help to reflect damaging UV rays and protect hair from the sun, deterring the dullness that comes from dryness. Finally, the lubricating properties of nut oils, like almond oil, also help reducing friction during hair styling.
