Avocado Oil

persea americana
persea gratissima


Avocado oil nourishes and restores dry,
dehydrated, and mature skin.
It is a rich, heavy oil that is best blended
with other carrier oils.

Skin problems, especially eczema and psoriasis,
respond to its high content of vitamins A and E.
Avocado oil is added to carrier oils,
in a 10%-20% dilution,
as an aid to skin moisturizing.

This is a highly therapeutic oil which is rich
in vitamins A, B1, B2, vitamins D and E,
protein, pantothenic acid, and fatty acids.
May be used as a massage oil
at approximately 10% dilution.
It's a nice oil to use in soap because it has
a high percentage of unsaponifiables.
Should be kept in a cool place or refrigerated;
has an excellent shelf life.

SAP value: 187.5.
