Organic Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is a yellow-green, almost clear oil with a typical aroma obtained by pressing the flesh of the avocado pear.

Our organic avocado oil is an excellent all-round ingredient for skincare, hair conditioning treatments, aromatherapy and massage. Avocado oil penetrates deeply into the skin and provides hydration, making it particularly suitable for dry or mature skin types.

Text

• Use 1% to 100%. For most purposes, 10% is more than adequate.
• Oil-soluble, so avocado oil cannot be used in water-only products. However, it can be used in small amounts in water-based gels that hold it in suspension.
• Heat stable, so it can be used in stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.

Avocado oil can thicken and start to solidify at cold temperatures. If this happens, gently bring it up to room temperature, and it will again be pourable.

We Love It Because

Organic avocado oil blends well with organic macadamia nut oil to make a rich and hydrating combination for dry, crepey or mature skin. To make it even richer, combine with avocado butter.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of organic avocado oil with a lighter skin feel, blend with EcoSilk or use drier oils such as chia seed oil or rosehip seed oil.
