Avocado oil is prepared from the fruit itself, which is very rich in protein, lecithin and vitamins A, B1, B2, B5 (Panthothenic acid), D & E

Also  contains high levels of oleic acid . This, combined with its palmitic acid content (11%), makes it a stable oil.

In the cosmetic industry, avocado oil is used in the production of hair care products, face and hand creams (particularly for very dry or mature skins) and for sunscreen lotions.  It is a useful skin nutrient for very dry skin & eczema.  Use in creams, lotions, lip balms, body butters, ointments & salves.  In massage bases, use a 10% dilution.

Avocado oil penetrates the skin more deeply than other oils allowing it to transport nutrients through the outer epidermis of the skin and into the dermis for increased effectiveness. Avocado oil is great for all skin types, and is especially kind to mature, sensitive or troubled skin.

• Strong UV absorption properties
• Regenerates connective skin tissue and inhibits bacteria growth
• Nourishes and repairs dehydrated, scarred or mature skin
