A rich, deeply nourishing oil cold-pressed from avocado flesh and naturally high in fatty acids. It is my go-to when skin or hair wants extra nourishment, and it is thicker than grapeseed or jojoba, so it suits richer creams, hair treatments and protective balms.
What it does
Deeply moisturises and conditions skin and hair
Supports the skin barrier
Adds richness to creams, lotions and balms
Improves softness and elasticity
Where you'll use it
Body lotions and creams, hand cream, rich facial moisturisers, body balms, hair masks and conditioners, scalp treatments, cuticle and lip care.
Good to know
Thicker than light carrier oils; blends well with them for balance
Needs a preservative in any water-based recipe
Store sealed, away from heat and light
