Avocado Carrier Oil

Ingredients: Persea Gratissima Oil

Description:

Avocado oil contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, and beta carotene. It is a monosaturated oil making it nourishing and suitable for dehydrated, sun exposed and dry skin. It is known to have regenerative and rejuvenating properties; it significantly increases the amount of collagen in the skin and is especially useful for mature skin. It has been known to be effective in helping reduce the itchiness and discomfort associated with some skin conditions.

Small amounts of Avocado oil are typically added to other carrier oils in order to enrich their vitamin content.  It is used predominantly by manufacturers (particularly great in soaps, lotions and creams) and massage therapists.

The avocado is the fruit of a tree native to Mexico and Central America. Mexico, Chile and the Dominican Republic are the biggest producers of avocados.

Consistency: Typical but slightly thicker than most carrier oils.

Absorption: Avocado oil will leave a sticky, waxy feel if applied topically to large areas of skin.
