Description of sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of almonds and used as an emollient and to help the skin retain moisture. Almond oil is a rich source of skin-replenishing ingredients, including triglycerides and several fatty acids (oleic, linoleic, and myristic among them).
In addition to these benefits, like all unscented vegetable oils, sweet almond oil has antioxidant properties. It is not known to cause sensitivity. However, its use is contraindicated for people with nut allergies.
