Also known as Sweet Almond Oil, this is a well established emollient due to its high content of Omega 9 Oleic Acid. This fatty acid is a key component in skin tissue as it helps maintain softness and moisture retention.
Oils rich in Oleic acid tend to absorb easily making Almond an ideal carrier for other skin active ingredients such as Vitamin E. Also see Olive, Apricot and Rapeseed.
