Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus var. dulcus) is a widely used, multi purpose oil which has wonderful moisturizing qualities. Extracted from the seeds of almonds, almond oil is clear in color with a tinge of yellow and has a very light, sweet and nutty aroma. Almond Oil is easily absorbed into the skin and serves as a great emollient, by lending a soft glowing beautiful touch to the skin. It balances the moisture in the body. It is an excellent natural moisturizer that is suitable for all skin types, but may be a bit oily for some.
Almond Oil makes a great lubricant, which aids in combating dryness and inflammation. The natural lubricating property of this oil also helps repair cracked and flaky skin, especially during dry, cold winters and in harsh arid climates. Almond oil can also be used to soften tough skin on the palms and the heels.
Sweet Almond Oil is known to improve the complexion and helps skin appear younger looking. It is often included in many popular anti-aging creams and other beauty products because of its moisturizing capabilities. Its high levels of vitamins A and E promote moist skin, and can also help to cleanse pores. Clean pores mean fewer blemishes, blackheads and pimples to combat with. Almond oil also helps to encourage skin cells to renew, eliminating dead skin cells from the surface and leaving behind a clean, fresh look.
To prolong the shelf life of the oil, try adding a few drops of Wheatgerm oil to your homemade products.
