Amphora Aromatics Sweet Almond

Sweet Almond Oil - Prunus Dulcis, is an inexpensive and versatile carrier oil.

It stays on the skins surface long enough for massage, aiding the movement of the hands as it has a medium viscosity and good for all round massage. It conditions the skin even when used on its own and so can promote younger looking skin. It's even better when used in conjunction with essential oils.

The almond tree originates from Asia and is now widely found in California and countries around the Mediterranean, such as Spain. The oil is pressed from the kernels of sweet almond fruit and is one of the most popular base oils for use in cosmetics.

The oil is rich in beta-sitosterols, alpha-tocopherols, oleic acid and linolenic acid (omega 6), which combine to make a highly beneficial oil for use in skin care products.
