Almond Oil (Apricot Kernel Oil)

   Almond oil (apricot kernel oil) has high levels of oleic acid and linoleic acid, even more than olive oil. Additionally, almond oil contains vitamins A1, B2, B5, C, E and some trace elements such as manganese, iron, zinc, phosphorous and selenium.

Almond oil is one of the most popular vegetable oils for use as a carrier oil or as a base oil in aromatherapy. The oil is easily absorbed into the skin and serves as a great emollient. It also works as a lubricant, thus combats itching and inflammation. It is an excellent natural moisturizer that is suitable for all skin types. Due to the many benefits offered by almond oil, it is increasingly finding its way into the making of soaps, creams and moisturizers.
