Ahh, Almond! What This Amazing Oil Can Do for You

Science has come up with plenty of perfectly effective and safe emollients and moisturizers for human skin. But although alpha glucan oligosaccharide, cetyl acetate, and stearic acid may be wonderful compounds, they just can't compare with what nature provides. Carrot oil, avocado oil, shea butter, and grapeseed oil are all commonly used in better cosmetics to keep skin soft and supple, but the real superstar of natural skin softeners is almond oil.











Unlike chemical compounds, almond oil is exactly what it sounds like—oil extracted from the seed of the sweet almond tree. It's been used by centuries throughout Europe and the Middle East as a moisturizer, lubricant, healing salve, and superfood, creating beauty from the inside as well as the outside.




On the Skin

Lotions and creams for the face and body contain almond oil because it's natural, nongreasy, and noncomedogenic. Plus it spreads easily and smoothly and is easily absorbed into the skin. It helps to preserve skin's moisture balance and can even soothe minor skin irritation like itchy skin, dryness, psoriasis, and mild eczema. Since it contains zinc, which aids in wound healing and has anti-inflammatory properties, it can even help alleviate minor burns and other injuries.







Almond oil contains large amounts of monounsaturated fats, which promote healthy cell membranes in the skin. It's a common component of natural anti-aging products because healthy, hydrated skin stays younger longer.
