What is Sweet Almond Oil?

Organic virgin sweet almond oil can be used in food and cosmetics.
Naturally rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (68%), it helps reduce bad cholesterol levels. Softening and protective, it promotes cell regeneration.

Sweet almond oil has long been known for its softening and soothing properties on sensitive skin, such as baby’s skin or dry skin.

Very creamy, it effectively removes make-up. It is often used as a massage base.

Its identity

INCI: Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil

Origin: Spain

Botanical family: Rosaceae

Part(s) used: Seeds from the fruit

Instructions for use

Storage: Sweet almond oil should be stored in a well-closed bottle, away from light, moisture and heat.

Precautions : Sweet almond oil should not be heated. When used externally, it may feel a little greasy and leave stains on clothing. As a precaution, people allergic to walnuts should avoid consuming them, even . Consequently, some sources recommend that pregnant women do not use it during pregnancy.   

Its history

The first sweet almond trees are thought to have originated in Central and Eastern Asia, more specifically Armenia and West Azerbaijan, and were domesticated 1200 BC.

Covered by a velvety skin, sweet almonds are green, fluffy and classified as nuts.

Its firm flesh never becomes juicy. It’s an oleaginous seed covered with a brown skin.

The world’s leading producer of sweet almonds is the United States. Spain ranks 2nd, and France 5th. Its production requires a mild climate in winter, as it does not tolerate frost.

Almonds are a short-lived product, only staying on the shelves for 3 weeks. Dried almonds, on the other hand, can be stored all year round.
