Almond Oil
What Is Almond Oil?
Did you know that although typically lumped in with other tree nuts an almond is actually a fruit consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed inside known as a drupe? Just as interestingly, almonds come in both sweet and bitter varieties. However, sweet almonds are the ones we eat and are considered safe and healthy. On the other hand, bitter almonds contain toxic compounds known as cyanide precursors, to be exact. Read more >-

Almond Oil Benefits
Did you know that although typically lumped in with other tree nuts an almond is actually a fruit consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed inside known as a drupe? Just as interestingly, almonds come in both sweet and bitter varieties. However, sweet almonds are the ones we eat and are considered safe and healthy. On the other hand, bitter almonds contain toxic compounds known as cyanide precursors, to be exact. These can cause poisoning and even accidental death. In North America, all commercially grown and distributed almonds are sweet almonds, which is why this oil is often labelled "Sweet Almond Oil."
It's a well-known fact that almonds are nutritional powerhouses and chock-full of heart-healthy fats, fibre, phytochemical compounds, and vitamins. They are also a great source of minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and copper. Almond oil is also loaded with antioxidants which explain its well-documented free radical fighting abilities. As a bonus, it also boasts potent anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. However, while almonds are a common food, almond oil is less frequently used in culinary applications, despite its delicate nutty flavour that pairs exceptionally well with salads. Indeed, almond oil is above and beyond everything else, used for skin and hair health, and as a carrier oil, please note, aromatherapy base and essential oils should never be ingested.
Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil
- Alleviates Skin Inflammation (Eczema, Psoriasis, Dandruff)
- Ideal For Sensitive Skin (Even Baby’s Skin!)
- Promotes Wound Healing
- Protects Against UV Damage
- Reduces The Appearance Of Fine Lines, Wrinkles, And Stretch Marks
Common Uses For Almond Oil
This oil is a staple in natural body and hair care. It is incredibly soothing to dry skin and improves skin hydration by balancing moisture and water loss. Because of its high nutrient density, Sweet Almond Oil can be used to reduce the visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, and fade sun damage, age spots, and scars. As an antibacterial and antifungal, sweet almond oil is terrific for treating acne, other forms of skin inflammation, ringworm, and fungal infections in general. It is also an excellent all-purpose carrier oil for use in aromatherapy to incorporate essential oils safely into all sorts of DIY recipes.
Final Thoughts
When purchasing this oil, select one that is 100% natural and cold-pressed to ensure optimal quality. Other terms to look for on your bottle include Organic, Expeller-Pressed, and Hexane-Free, this will ensure you're purchasing a quality oil.
Almond oil should not be used internally or by those with a nut allergy.
