What is Avocado Oil?

Avocado Oil has a history that dates back to the late 1500s when Spaniards first recognized its delicious taste. Today, it continues to be a beloved ingredient in many diets. 

Avocado Oil is a rich, nourishing oil that comes from the kernel of avocados. Many people in the beauty industry seek it out for its deep moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. It’s also packed with essential fatty acids, Vitamins E and K, and antioxidants. These components work together to help reduce the appearance of inflammation, lines, wrinkles, and even sun damage.

What are the Benefits of Avocado Oil?

Hydrates and Softens Dry Skin

Avocado Oil absorbs into the skin, providing effective hydration that helps achieve a more balanced appearance, even for those who have combination and oily skin. Once it’s absorbed, the skin won’t feel overly greasy or shiny. Instead, it will look plump, soft, and radiant. The deep penetration of the oil ensures long-lasting hydration.

For those with oilier skin, consider adding this luxurious oil to your nighttime routine. Apply a thin layer, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, and then gently wipe away any excess. This method offers all the benefits without risking clogged pores. For normal to dry skin types in need of extra moisture, mixing a few drops of Avocado Oil into your favorite face cream can provide a boost for an intensely hydrating treatment.

You’ll also find Avocado Oil as a key ingredient in our beloved Nourishing Body Cream and Lavender Body Cream.

Comforts Sensitive Skin

Avocado Oil is highly effective in calming the look of inflammation and caring for delicate skin. Beyond its excellent moisturizing properties, this botanical oil is rich in lecithin and essential fatty acids, which support new skin formation and collagen production. These nutrients aid in the body’s natural healing processes, promoting stronger, healthier skin.

Avocado Oil penetrates deeply, locking in moisture and reinforcing the skin’s barrier to prevent  irritation. Do you ever feel like your complexion is destined to be chronically dry, red, dull, or lifeless? Try Our Marigold Barrier Serum, which is formulated with Avocado Oil and designed to help visibly improve the skin’s health with regular use. It’s also fast-absorbing, and will leave your skin soft, smooth, and revitalized. Best of all, it’s suitable for dry, oily, or combination skin types, or for anyone wanting to boost their skin’s strength and resilience.

Promotes Healthy Hair & Nails

Avocado Oil nourishes hair, making it soft, shiny, and manageable by helping prevent breakage and dryness. It also effectively restores vitality to hair exposed to chlorine, salt, sun, and helps combat dandruff. 

If you’re looking to enhance your hair's health, try our Hair and Scalp Elixir. It’s designed to address the most common scalp issues, making your hair look vibrant and revitalized. With regular use, you'll notice a healthier scalp, shinier hair, and stronger follicles, supporting thicker, longer locks and reducing hair breakage. For an added boost, simply mix a few drops into your shampoo or conditioner. 

You’ll also find that Avocado Oil is a key ingredient in our Sir Vital Condition Beard Oil. This beard oil is ideal for hydrating and taming facial hair of any length.  

Avocado Oil also helps to strengthen nails by keeping them and their beds soft and moisturized, minimizing breakage. Try massaging it into your nails in cuticles or give our Nail & Cuticle Elixir  a try for even more healthy-looking hands.
