Homemade Haven Avocado Oil

Homemade Haven Avocado Oil – 250 mL

What it is

Avocado oil is a rich, deeply nourishing plant oil used by DIYers to support dry, sensitive or mature skin and hair. Cold-pressed from avocado flesh, it’s naturally high in fatty acids and is valued for its conditioning and protective qualities.

For home DIYers, avocado oil is the go-to oil when extra nourishment is needed. It’s thicker than grapeseed or jojoba, making it ideal for richer creams, hair treatments and protective balms.

What it does

• Deeply moisturises and conditions skin and hair
• Helps support the skin barrier
• Adds richness to creams, lotions, and balms
• Improves softness and elasticity
• Provides slip and nourishment in haircare recipes
