Sweet Almond Oil is a clear, delicate, pale yellow oil with emollient, moisturizing and conditioning properties for skin and hair.
It is suitable for dry and itchy skin. It has a fine texture, so it is very easily absorbed by the skin and hair.
It is often used for make-up removal. It has a phagosogenic index of 2-3, so it should be used with caution in cases of acne.
It is rich in vitamins E, A and B, phytosterols and squalene.
It consists mainly of oleic, linolenic and palmitic acids, with smaller amounts of embolic, stearic, palmitoic and arachidic acids.
